Candy Cane Cookies: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for the Holidays

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Red food coloring
  • ½ cup crushed candy canes (for topping)
  • Additional granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
  6. Split the dough in half. Leave one half as is and add red food coloring to the other half. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  7. Wrap both portions of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  8. Take small pieces of the red and white dough and roll them into ropes, about 6 inches long. Twist one red and one white rope together to form a candy cane shape.
  9. Arrange the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for an extra festive touch.
