These cookies are great for Christmas! Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup sifted powdered sugar |
1 egg |
2 1/2 cups sifted flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring |
1/4 cup finely crushed peppermint stick candy |
1/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Mix butter, sugar, eggs and flavoring. Mix flour salt and blend in thoroughly. Divide dough in half. Blend food coloring into 1 half. Chill both halves until firm.
2. On a lightly floured board, roll the plain half into a 12-inch square. Roll the red half the same size and lay on top of the plain dough. Roll the double-layered dough gently until about 1/4-inch thick. Roll up like a jelly roll and chill one hour.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice cookies 1/4 inch thick. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake 9 minutes or until lightly browned. While still warm, brush with egg-white glaze (1 egg white combined with 2 tablespoons water) and sprinkle with peppermint candy and sugar.
