Time 15m

Yield 25 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (17 1/2 ounce) box sugar cookie mix
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus additional for surface
red food coloring
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, melted butter, egg, cream cheese, and flour; mix together to form dough. Separate dough into 2 equal portions and place in 2 different bowls.
  • Add red food coloring gradually to 1 bowl of dough, kneading together until desired shade of red is created.
  • To second bowl of uncolored dough, add peppermint extract and knead together.
  • On a floured work surface, shape each dough into balls and then roll each ball into 1/4-inch-wide ropes, each about 6 inches long.
  • For each cookie, carefully twist some of the red and white ropes of dough together and shape into a candy cane. Spread candy canes out on cookie sheets and bake on the top shelf of the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool before serving.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate flavor really shines through.

I had trouble getting the dough to roll out. I ended up having to add a little more flour.
