Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk + 1 tablespoon - divided
- 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- 1-2 tablespoons white sanding sugar
Instructions
- Add vinegar to ¼ cup milk, stir and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together in a large bowl sugar and butter. Add egg, peppermint and vanilla until incorporated. Blend in milk/vinegar mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until dough forms.
- Divide dough into two. Add red food coloring to one half and mix until food coloring is incorporated thoroughly.
- Spoon 2 - 1 tablespoon portions of dough, 1 from each colored dough and roll into 5 inch ropes. Twist the red and white ropes together, lightly pinch the ends together and bend into a candy cane shape. Place on a sheet pan; bake 10 canes per sheet.
- Lightly brush candy canes with 1 tablespoon of milk. Sprinkle each candy cane with white sanding sugar.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Until the bottom starts to lightly brown. Cool for 5 minutes on the pan and then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Notes
- Lemon juice can be used in place of the white vinegar.
- When rolling out the ropes, be sure to roll from the center out to keep the rope consistent in thickness from beginning to end.
- Do not prescoop all the dough before rolling and shaping. The dough will dry out and break as you twist and shape the cookies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks.
