Candy cane cookies with almond extract

This Almond Candy Cane cookie is made every year in our house. We often have to make more shortly after because they go so fast! This whimsical candy cane shaped cookie is light and airy, yet full of almond flavor. It is fun to roll and wrap the dough into the candy cane cookies.

These candy cane cookies recipe features minty sugar cookie dough that's twisted together to look just like a candy cane.

Make one complete cookie at a time. If the dough of one color is shaped first, the little rolls become to dry to twist.

Peppermint-flavored red and white dough makes a tasty, striking holiday cookie.

Is it really Christmas without candy cane cookies? I don't think so, which is why they're at the top of my holiday baking list each and every year.I make mine like the very old fashioned recipes, namely without peppermint extract. I use almond, but please feel free to substitute peppermint extract if that's what you prefer. | #christmascookies #candycane #easybaking #holidays
