How to Make Candy Cane Cookies Or Cutouts
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. (Note: For optimal sugar cookie dough, add a bit more flour than the recipe originally calls for.)
- If desired, divide the dough in half and tint one half with red food coloring.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost with your favorite icing (recipe #261889 recommended).
