Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
or hard peppermint candies
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter or
margarine, at room temperature
1/2 cup plain or butter-flavored shortening
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon liquid red food coloring

Adjust two racks to divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to
375 degrees. Have ready two ungreased baking sheets. In a small bowl,
mix the sugar with the crushed candy; set aside.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat
together the butter, shortening, confectioners’ sugar, egg, vanilla,
and peppermint extract until light and fluffy, 2 or 3 minutes. With
the mixer at medium-low speed, gradually add the flour, beating just
until blended. Remove half of the dough from the bowl and set aside on
a sheet of waxed paper. To the dough remaining in the bowl, add the
red food coloring and beat until evenly colored. (At this point both
of the doughs can be tightly wrapped separately in aluminum foil and
refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. If
frozen, thaw in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before
proceeding.)

For each candy cane, scoop 1 teaspoonful of the plain dough and the
same amount of pink dough. Roll each scoop between the palms of your
hands to make a 4-inch rope. Twist the ropes together and shape into a
candy cane. As they are made, arrange the canes on an ungreased baking
sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake for about 9 minutes until firm to the touch and barely golden.
Reverse the baking sheets on the racks and from front to back once
during baking. The moment the cookies come from the oven, sprinkle
each one with the sugar-and-peppermint mixture. With a wide turner,
immediately transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Store in a tightly covered container, separating the layers with
sheets of waxed paper.

Yield: About 48 cookie
