List of Ingredients




Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup LAND O LAKES®Butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup decorator sugar



Recipe



Instructions:

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine flour, butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture forms a dough (3 to 4 minutes).

Divide dough into fourths. Divide each fourth into fourths, for a total of 16 pieces. Shape each piece into thin 15-inch rope. Cut each piece into 5 (3-inch) lengths. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Shape into candy cane-shape.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. While cookies are still warm, dip into decorator sugar.

VARIATION:

Buttery Pretzel Cookies: Cut rolled out dough ropes into 5-inch lengths. Shape into pretzel-shape. Bake as directed. Dip in mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
