Candy Cane Cookies

Made with love by my sister-in-law Caroline

½ c. butter, softened
½ c. shortening
1 c. powdered sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
2½ c. flour
1 t. salt
½ t. red food coloring
½ t. peppermint extract


Cream butter, shortening, sugar, egg, vanilla, and peppermint extract. Blend in flour and salt. Divide dough in half. Add food coloring to one half. Shape 1 teaspoon from red- make a 4 inch long rope. Do the same with 1 teaspoon white. Twist together, put on ungreased cookie sheet, curve tops. Continue until all the dough is used. Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes or until very lightly browned.
