The Best Candy Cane Cookies
Report
These candy cane cookies are perfectly buttery and simple, yet immensely festive. Hook them on the side of a mug of cocoa or gobble them up with a big glass of milk.

Instructions
- Beat softened butter with egg yolks and vanilla extract until they reach a creamy texture.
- Slowly add in powdered sugar and beat until you get a smooth texture.
- Combine flour and salt. In small parts, add flour mixture to the dough. Beat on low speed just until the flour is fully mixed in.
- The dough should be smooth and not crumbly. Divide the dough into two parts. Add food coloring to each part and work the dough to evenly distribute the color.
- Wrap the dough and let it rest for at least an hour. Use a tablespoon to scoop out dollops of dough.
- Roll out each piece into a thin 4-inch piece. Twist them together while bending one end to form a candy cane.
- Bake at 350 °F for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet.
