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 oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, melted butter, egg, cream cheese, and flour; mix together to form dough. Separate dough into 2 equal portions and place in 2 different bowls. Add red food coloring gradually to 1 bowl of dough, kneading together until desired shade of red is created. To second bowl of uncolored dough, add peppermint extract and knead together. On a floured work surface, shape each dough into balls and then roll each ball into 1/4-inch-wide ropes, each about 6 inches long. For each cookie, carefully twist some of the red and white ropes of dough together and shape into a candy cane. Spread candy canes out on cookie sheets and bake on the top shelf of the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool before serving.

CLASSIC CANDY CANE BUTTER COOKIES

Author Lynn Andriani
- Sugar Cookies. These buttery cookies are best for making cutouts in all kinds of festive shapes. Make your dough, chill for at least an hour (or overnight), then you're ready to roll!
- Gingerbread Snowflakes. It just isn't Christmas without gingerbread! Martha uses the spice-forward dough to make snowflakes of all different sizes—those pictured here are made with a large snowflake-shape cookie cutter, but she makes smaller iterations, as well.
- Noel Nut Balls. When she makes these delicious pecan cookies, a Kostyra family favorite, Martha portions the dough into larger balls than her mother's recipe calls for.
- Old-Fashioned Lemon Sugar Cookies. Martha loves lemon (it's one of her favorite flavors), and it's sure to be one of yours, too, once you bite into these crisp, citrusy cookies.
- Chewy Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies. Rich and robust, these decadent cookies are made with fresh ginger instead of the usual powdered spice. Semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder put a smile on chocolate lovers' faces, while dark-brown sugar and molasses provide that scrumptious chewy texture.
