Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/4 cups LAND O LAKES® Butter -- softened

1 egg

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup finely crushed red and white peppermint

candy or candy canes

1/4 teaspoon red food color

 

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine powdered sugar, butter, egg, peppermint extract and

vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until

creamy (2 to 3 minutes). Reduce speed to low; add flour and salt. Beat until

well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).

 

Divide dough in half. Stir candy into half of dough. Beat food color into

remaining half of dough.

 

For each candy cane, roll 1 teaspoonful of each dough to 4-inch rope. Place 2

ropes side by side; twist gently and roll dough together. (For best results,

complete cookies one at a time to prevent drying out.)

 

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Curve one end to form handle

of cane. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Let stand 1 minute; remove from

cookie sheets.

 

TIP: If dough is dry, stir in 1 teaspoon milk. If dough is too soft, refrigerate

1 hour or stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons flour.
