From a recipe book I found buried in my room. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
1 egg |
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring or 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy |
1/2 cup white sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ. Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavorings throughly.
2. Add flour and salt, mix well.
3. Shape dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap; chill for at least 2 hours or until easy to handle.
4. Roll into 4 inch strips; place on baking sheet. Curve top down to form a handle or cane.
5. Bake 9 minutes. While still warm, remove from pan and sprinkle with candy and sugar mixture.
6. Dough may be divided in half and colored with 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring if desired. Roll each color into strips, place side-by-side, press together lightly and twist like a rope.
