Candy Cane Cookies ________ 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix well the shortening and butter, sugar, egg, almond and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix flour and salt and add to shortening mixture. Divide dough in half. Blend red food coloring into one half. Roll 1 teaspoon of the red dough and 1 teaspoon of the white dough on lightly floured board into 4 inch strips. Place strips side by side and press lightly together and twist like a rope. Curve top of rope down to look like the handle of a candy cane. Bake 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove while still warm. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup crushed peppermint stick candy and 1/2 cup sugar (optional). Make one cookie at a time. If the dough of one color is shaped first, the little rolls become to dry to twist. Makes 2 dozen cookies. |
