Candy Cane Cookies

Candy Cane Cookies 
A special Holiday Treat 

I want to show you how to make candy cane cookies.

Here are your ingredients:

½ tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened,
2 table spoons of all purpose flower
½ tablespoon of peppermint extract
½ tablespoon of red food-coloring.


In a large mixing bowl, beat the cookie dough, and extract until it is smooth. Divide the dough in half; mix food coloring into one portion. Shape one teaspoon of white dough into a 6-in. rope. Shape one teaspoon of red dough into a 6-in. rope. Place ropes side by side; press together lightly and twist. Place an ungreased baking sheet; curve one end of the cookie to form the handle of the cane. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing cookies 2 in. apart on baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes before carefully to wire racks. Yield: 3 dozen.
