Cookie Preparation
- Beat together the softened butter with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla, and peppermint extracts until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then gradually add this to the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and tint one half with red gel food coloring. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Roll portions of red and white dough into thin ropes, twist them together, and shape them into candy cane forms.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until set but not browned. Cool on trays.
