Description
A bit time-consuming but so good! I still have the original Betty Crocker recipe framed in my kitchen.
|
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together shortening, butter, egg, and extracts. Stir in the flour and salt. Divide dough in half and blend red food coloring into one of the halves.
Roll about 1 tablespoon-sized piece of each dough into a strip about 4-5 inches long. Place strips sided by side, pressing together lightly and twist like a rope. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and curve the top down to form the handle. Bake about 9 minutes or until very lightly browned. Remove from the cookie sheet carefully while still warm and sprinkle tops with mixture of crushed candy canes and sugar. Makes 2-3 dozen.
