Candy Cane Cookies - Yummy Healthy Easy

Стъпки:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, blend together butter, shortening or coconut oil, powdered sugar, egg, almond and peppermint extracts.
• 3. Blend in flour and salt.
• 4. Divide dough in half, coloring half of the dough with red food coloring (I used a gel food coloring).
• 5. Pinch off a dime sized piece of both colors. Roll each into a "snake" shape (aka long skinny roll) and then roll both pieces lightly together under your hand on a flat surface (colors will sort of combine).
• 6. Lightly pinching ends, slowly twist one end forward and the other end backward to make it striped like a candy cane.
• 7. Lift carefully to cookie sheet and form a hooked candy cane handle. Bake for about 9 minutes.
• 8. When you pull the cookie sheet out of the oven, sprinkle sugar over the tops of each candy cane.
• 9. Let cool on cookie sheet before carefully removing and placing on flat surface or cooling rack. Enjoy!
