Title: Candy Cane Cookies #1
Categories: Cookie
Yield: 1 Batch
| 1 | c | Shortening; softened |
| 1 | c | Sugar, confectioners; sifted |
| 1 | Egg | |
| 1 | ts | Almond flavoring |
| 1 | ts | Vanilla flavoring |
| 2 1/2 | c | Flour, sifted |
| 1/2 | ts | Salt |
| 1/4 | ts | Red food coloring; to 1/2 ts |
Cream shortening and sugar together. Beat in egg and flavorings. Add flour and salt and mix well. Divide dough into 2 portions. Put red food coloring into 1 portion, leave the other one plain. Take a tsp of dough from each portion. Roll each into a thin rope. Twist together carefully and roll gently to smooth. Put on lightly greased cookie sheet and curve top of each cookie to make it look like a candy cane. Bake at 375 for 8 to 9 min.
Press variation: Use the "rope" disk of your cookie press to make the rope for the cookies. First make red, then plain, or vice versa, and then twist together.
