Total Time:
Shape and bake one cookie dough at a time to keep it moist and easy to work with.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon red food coloring
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Blend together the shortening, butter, sugar, egg, almond, and vanilla until well combined. In another bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add to the shortening mixture. Divide the dough in half.
  • Mix red food coloring into half of the dough. Take 1 teaspoon of the red dough and 1 teaspoon of the white dough, roll them into 4-inch strips on a lightly floured board. Place the strips side by side, press lightly together, and twist like a rope. Curve the top of the rope down to resemble a candy cane handle.
  • Bake for 9 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven while still warm and top with 1/2 cup crushed peppermint stick candy and 1/2 cup sugar, if desired.
