Candy Cane Cookies

Submitted by Cris and Angel

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.
