===== Candy Cane Cookies =====

  * 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  * 1/2 cup shortening
  * 1 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
  * 1 egg
  * 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  * 1 teaspoon vanilla
  * 2 1/2 cups flour
  * 1 teaspoon salt
  * 1/2 teaspoon red food color

----

Heat oven to 375 deg.  Mix thoroughly butter, shortening, powdered sugar, egg and flavorings.  Blend in flour and salt.  Divide dough in half; blend food color into one half.

Shape 1 teaspoon dough from each half into 4-inch rope.  For smooth, even ropes, roll them back and forth on lightly floured board.  Place ropes side by side; press together lightly and twist.  Complete cookies one at a time.  Place on ungreased baking sheet; curve top of cookie down to form handle of cane.

Bake about 9 minutes or until set and very light brown.  If you wish, mix 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.  Immediately sprinkle cookies with candy mixture; remove from baking sheet.

About 4 dozen cookies.
