COOKIE INGREDIENTS.......
2 cups butter, softened
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
4 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 and 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons peppermint candy
red food colouring
When ready, divide dough in half. To one half, add 1/2 teaspoon of red food colouring. Using about a tablespoon of dough, roll a 4" strip of each colour (no fatter than a pencil).
Place the two coloured rolls side-by-side and press lightly together. Gently twist like a rope and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 1" apart.
Curve the top like a candy cane and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes; do not brown!
Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy. Enjoy!!!!!!
