Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter
½ cup shortening
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red food coloring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Mix well the shortening and butter, sugar, egg, almond and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix flour and salt and add to shortening mixture. Divide dough in half.
  • Blend red food coloring into one half. Roll 1 teaspoon of the red dough and 1 teaspoon of the white dough on lightly floured board into 4 inch strips. Place strips side by side and press lightly together and twist like a rope. Curve top of rope down to look like the handle of a candy cane.
  • Bake 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove while still warm. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup crushed peppermint stick candy and 1/2 cup sugar (optional).
