    Recipe Introduction


    My daughter LOVES to make these cookies for Christmas.

    List of Ingredients




    1 c Softened shortening
    1 c Sifted powdered sugar
    1 Egg
    1 ts Almond flavoring
    1 ts Vanilla flavoring
    1 1/16 c Sifted flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 To 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

    Recipe



    Cream shortening and sugar together. Beat in egg and flavorings. Add flour and salt and mix well. Divide dough into 2 portions. Put red food coloring into 1 portion, leave the other one plain. Take a tsp of dough from each portion. Roll each into a thin rope. Twist together carefully and roll gently to smooth. Put on lightly greased cookie sheet and curve top of each cookie to make it look like a candy cane.

    Bake at 375 for 8 to 9 min.

    Press variation: Use the "rope" disk of your cookie press to make the rope for the cookies. First make red, then plain, or vice versa, and then twist together.
