Candy Cane Cookies

Have yet to try these, but they sound good!!

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp red food coloring
• 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Mix butter, sugar, egg, and flavoring.  Add combined flour and salt.  Divide dough in half.  Blend food coloring in 1.  Roll 4" strips of each color.  Place strips side by side and lightly press together.  Twist like a rope.  Curve top down to create candy cane shape.

Bake at 375˚ for 9-10 minutes.  While still warm, sprinkle with candy and sugar.
