now. In a separate bowl, cream th e butter an d sugar together. Add

ingredients and mix until a dough comes together. Split the dough in

half. Wrap one half on plastic wrap and refrigerate.

coloring is ev enly distributed. Then wr ap the red dough in pla stic

wr ap a nd r efr igera te. The doug h sh ould be ch illed for a bout 3 hou rs.

Preheat th e oven to 37 5F. To shape the cookies, first divide the tw o

dough s into 50 pieces each. Take one r ed piece of dough and one wh ite

piece of dough. Roll both dough pieces into 5 inch snakes. Twist t he

two snakes together. Pinch th e two ends of the twist.

Roll the whole twist a bit a gain st the table so the tw o dough snakes

bakin g sh eet. Hook down th e top of th e tw ist to form a c an dy cane

shape. Repeat with the r est of the dough. Bake the cookies for 8-10

minutes, or until the bottoms begin browning. Leave on the baking
