2 1/2 cups flour
2 sticks or one cup of butter "Room Temperature"
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp "your choice extract" we used peppermint
Red Food Coloring
Cream butter and sugar together in a mixer until fluffy. Add the extract and egg. Then add in the flour a half a cup at a time. After fully Incorporated stop the mixer and take out half of the cookie dough and place in plastic wrap and put in the fridge. Then scrape down the rest of the cookie dough in the bowl and add a 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring, then mix until the dough is bright red. Scrape it out and place in plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Leave to chill for one hour.
Then measure out an even amount of dough and roll into balls of both colors. Then take one of each color roll into long snakes/logs, make sure they are both even sizes and gently overlap each color. Then pick an end of the sticks and curl over to make it look like a candy cane.
Place on a well greased cookie pan with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees F for 9 to 12 minutes.
Take out and let them cool in the cookie sheet pan.
Enjoy!!!
