VERY EASY CANDY CANE COOKIES
This recipe came from Quick Cooking (one of the best magazines Reiman Publishing came out with next to Taste of Home and all the others!). When you're doing massive quantities of cookies, any short-cut is appreciated. This recipe uses refrigerated cookie dough. And really, who's gonna know? Just spruce it up a bit and keep your mouth shut and take 100 % of the credit. (You could make your own sugar cookie dough too if you desire...either way, these are beautiful on a holiday tray!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixer bowl or by hand, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in egg, almond extract, vanilla, and salt. Blend flour into mixture in several additions, beat until just combined.
- Remove half the dough from the bowl. Blend red food coloring into the half remaining in the bowl until the coloring is even. Cover dough a kitchen towel to keep it from drying out as you work. Use a floured teaspoon to measure 1 teaspoon each of white and red dough for each cookie. Roll into 4-inch ropes on a lightly floured surface. Place a red and white rope side-by-side, press together lightly and twist to form a spiral. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Curve top down to form handle of a candy cane. Bake until set, about 9 minutes. While the cookies are baking, put peppermint candies in a resealable plastic bag and crush into small pieces with a rolling pin. Mix the candy with the sugar. Place cooling rack over shallow pan. Immediately remove cookies from cookie sheet and gently place onto cooling rack. Sprinkle with candy/sugar mixture.
- Optional: Cool cookies, drizzle with melted chocolate, and add more candy mixture on top of chocolate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Blend on high with the paddle attachment until the sugar granules are less visible and the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula, then add the egg and blend on low until combined, stopping to scrape the sides more to incorporate.
- Prepare the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and baking soda. Stir and toss with a spoon or fork.
- Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl and, while off, add half of the flour mixture. Turn on low and mix until combined; this should only take 5 to 6 rotations of the paddle. Stop and scrape the sides again, then add the other half of the flour and mix on low the same way. Turn off the mixer.
- Add the chopped chocolate chips and crushed candy canes. Turn the mixer back on low and blend until just combined; this should only take 3 to 4 rotations of the paddle.
- Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough balls the size of golf balls, 1 tablespoon each, and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheet, about 8 cookies per sheet. Bake until the edges are set and the center is cooked through, but still soft, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Cool the cookies for 2 to 3 minutes on the sheets. Then, holding the baking sheet over a wire cooling rack, remove the cookies from the sheet by gripping the baking sheet with one hand and the parchment paper on the opposite side with your other hand. Gently slide the parchment paper off the sheet with the cookies still on top, resting the parchment and cookies on the wire rack beneath until cool. This cookie removal/cooling trick takes coordination, so think about it before you do it and easy on the egg nog.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line two large baking trays with non-stick baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl using a wooden spoon or in a stand mixer until soft, pale and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go.
- Tip in the flour, milk, vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt, and mix everything together using a wooden spoon until you have a dough. Divide the dough into two pieces, and set one half aside. Divide that piece in half again. Colour one half with red food colouring gel and the other with green. They must be a dark, intense shade because they will lighten slightly as they bake.
- Roll golf-ball-sized pieces of the plain dough into 15 x 1cm sausages between your palms, then repeat with the red and green doughs. On a work surface, lay a plain dough sausage parallel to a red or green one. Join the bottoms together, then lightly twist along the length. Do this gently - don't be tempted to press them together or the colours may meld. One by one, carefully lift each twist of dough, place on one of the prepared trays and curl at the top to form a hooked candy cane. Repeat until all the dough is used (you should have about 12 canes), spacing them apart by about 5cm.
- Bake for 12-14 mins until set and slightly golden. Leave to cool slightly on the trays before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.

Steps:
- Arrange the oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°F). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and the brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and fully combined, 2-3 minutes (alternatively, use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer). Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
- Transfer half of the dough (about 2 cups/420 grams) to a medium bowl. Add the peppermint extract and red food coloring to the remaining dough in the stand mixer bowl and mix on low speed until evenly colored, 1-2 minutes. Cover both bowls of dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Take 1 tablespoon of each dough and roll them into 4-inch-long ropes. Press the ropes together, twirl them into a spiral, then roll into a ball using the palms of your hands. Repeat with the remaining dough. (Tip: wear rubber gloves to prevent the food coloring from staining your skin.)
- Roll each cookie dough ball in the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets and swapping from top to bottom rack halfway through, until they are lightly browned on the edges and puffed, 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately bang the baking sheets on the countertop to deflate the cookies slightly. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Enjoy!
