Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/4 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
green and red paste or gel food coloring

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, salt and extract and mix well. Divide dough into fourths. Tint one portion green and one red; leave the remaining portions plain.
Divide each portion into thirds; shape each into a 6-in. log. Flatten into triangular logs, bending the top of one point slightly (to give finished cookies a pinwheel effect). Assemble one large roll by alternating three green and three plain logs. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with red and remaining plain dough. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
Unwrap dough and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks.
Cut 6-in.-square pieces of cellophane or plastic wrap to wrap each cookie; twist ends securely or tie with a ribbon. Yield: about 4 dozen.
