Candy cane cookies
submitted by Mrs. T1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. red food coloring
Heat oven to 375°. Mix thoroughly the butter, sugar, egg, and
flavorings. Blend in flour and salt. Divide dough in half and remove
one half to a separate bowl. Blend food coloring into one half of
dough.
Shape 1 teaspoon of dough of each color into a 4” rope. For smooth,
even ropes, roll them back and forth on a lightly floured surface.
Place the 2 ropes side by side; press them together lightly and twist.
Complete cookies one at a time. Place on ungreased baking sheet as they are completed. Curve top of each cookie down to form the handle of the “candy cane”. Bake about 9 minutes or until set and very light brown. Remove to racks and cool. Makes about 4 dozen.
These cookies are something I always wanted to try in my younger
These cookies are something I always wanted to try in my younger
years. So when I had kids of my own, I did. They really liked making
these -- it’s sort of like playing with play dough!
