Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 drops red food coloring
  • 3 drops green food coloring

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, add egg and lemon juice and continue to mix. Add dry mixture incrementally to wet mixture until fully incorporated.

Divide dough into 2 separate bowls; add 3 drops red food coloring to 1 bowl and 3 drops green food coloring to the other. Stir until colors are prevalent throughout.

Roll out both doughs on flour-dusted parchment paper to about 1/6-inch thick. Trim edges with a butter knife or pizza cutter to make a solid rectangle. Cut each color dough into 10 even strips, twist and wrap green dough with red dough and form candy cane shapes.

Place twisted dough on a parchment-lined cookie sheet 1/2 inch apart (they will spread) and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove, cool and enjoy!

    These were great! I found that the amount of food coloring they used was gross so I used a little less and they still looked (and tasted good

    Ok so I tried this recipe and I must say it was ok, but I was a little disappointed also. The cookie dough by the recipe was way to wet. I went back and added more flour and more sugar to help it out. I think still had the dough sticking to my hands even after I floured to keep it from sticking to me "it didn't work". I ended up putting the dough in parchment paper and using cookie cutters. Once all the dough was almost gone I tried the candy cane cookie. The cookie cooled off and were hard as a brick...I recommend using your own jugement on how long to cook them
