sugar cookies in candy cane shape
2 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup of butter at room temp, soft
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
3/4 cup of colored sugar
pre heat oven 375℉
blend flour, butter, sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl, beating at a medium speed, scrape down sides of bowl and the mixture will form a dough like mix 4min. I usually put in fridge and let it set aprox. 1 hour.
divide the dough in half and color one dough red, you may need a pinch of flour to help blend and not stick.
once the doughs have rested and chilled you will divide each dough in half, then continue cutting in halves until you have aprox. 16 pieces of dough of each color
shape each piece of dough on a very lightly flour surface into 15 inch rope
cut each rope in 3” inch lengths with a total of 5 rope pieces
role the red rope and plane rope together as a twirl/braid
form on cookie sheet a small curve to resemble a candy cane
place cookies 1” apart and bake for 9 or so mins until bottoms are golden brown.
once the cookies are done i let them slight cool and place them in the colored sugar and place them on a serving tray or plate.
ENJOY
