Theresa, there are several recipes for Candy Cane Cookies here on TRL. I'm "pasting" one below, but you can do a search and compare it with the others to find one you'd like to try. Candy Cane Cookies Source: Jean Pare Company's Coming - CookiesPosted to Recipelink.com by Judi on October 09, 1997 Makes about 4 1/2 dozen My mother-in-law used to make these cookies every Christmas. 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix first 6 ingredients together well. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Add food coloring to 1 portion. Blend well. Roll 1 teaspoon of each color dough into ropes and 5 1/2-inches long. Lay them side by side. Pinch ends together. Twist to form a spiral. Lay on ungreased baking sheet. Shape to form canes. Wreaths are easy to make too. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes until pale gold. Cool on sheet for 2 to 3 minutes then remove.
