Okay, I've finally posted one of my cookie recipes, enjoy!
1} 1 cup butter flavored Crisco
2} 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
3} 1 egg
4} 1 tsp vanilla
5} 1 1/2 tsp PURE peppermint extract
6} 2 1/2 cups flour
7} 1 tsp salt
8} 1/2 tsp red food color
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Blend the first 5 ingredients together thoroughly. Blend together the flour and salt and sift and stir it into the first 5 ingredients slowly. Divide the dough in half and blend food coloring into one half.
Roll about a tsp of each color dough into strips about 4 inches long. Place strips side by side and press lightly together and twist like rope. Place onto ungreased cookie sheet, curve top of the rope down to form the handle of the candy cane.
Cook for 9 min, cool and enjoy!
You could also just roll them into a ball and press a fork down on it, use a cookie cutter, etc to make great peppermint cookies without the fuss (or holiday theme) of candy canes.
