| Pin It Candy Cane Cookies are perfect for your Christmas baking. These cute cookies are tender crisp with a buttery sweet flavor. There is no denying that kids love these cookies, but adults seem to enjoy them every bit as much, especially with a hot cup of tea or coffee. This cookie batter does not contain baking powder or baking soda, as we do not want the cookies to rise during baking, as this would distort their candy cane shape. I have flavored the cookies with both vanilla and almond extracts. However, if you want a peppermint flavored cookie, simply replace the almond extract with an equal amount of peppermint extract. The other thing about the batter is that two egg yolks are used instead of one whole egg, and this is done to give the cookies a richer flavor. Once the batter is made it is divided in half and then one half is colored red. You can use either red liquid food coloring or red gel paste food color. To form the cookies you take a walnut size piece of each color of batter and separately roll them into a rope shape. Twist the two ropes together and place on your baking sheet. Shape the cookies into a cane shape by curving one end into a hook shape. I like to gently smooth the edges of the two ropes to soften the lines between the two colors. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
