Recipe by: Theresa Grant DESCRIPTION: These pretty little peppermint-flavored cookies are a tasty, colorful addition to any holiday cookie box. Combine flour & baking powder. Beat butter until softened. Add sugar & beat until fluffy. Add egg & extracts & beat well. Add flour mixture & beat till well mixed. Divide dough into thirds. Stir red food coloring into one third, green into another, & leave one third plain. Cover each and chill one hour. Roll each color into 1/2" diameter ropes. Using one rope of each color, twist together (Like a three-colored candy cane). Slice twisted ropes into 1/4" pieces. Place slices 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten to 1/4" thickness with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake in 375~ oven until just set (do not brown), about 8 minutes. Remove and cool
on racks. STORAGE: Airtight about 2 weeks. Frozen, up to three months. From BH&G "Cookies for Christmas." -----
