Time 45m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup margarine
½ cup white sugar
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red food coloring
½ cup peppermint candy canes, crushed
½ cup white sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar and confectioners' sugar. Beat in the egg, vanilla and peppermint extracts. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Cover or wrap dough and chill for at least one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Divide dough into halves. Color one half red by mixing in the food color. Roll a small amount of each dough into a 2 inch long worm. Roll them together in a twisted rope and curve the end like a cane. Place onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed candy cane and remaining white sugar. Roll hot cookies in the sugar mixture.
