I have lost my recipe for candy cane cookies using peppermint extract. Does anybody happen to have this recipe? I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this, as they are well liked in our family for Christmas. Thank You in advance!

Candy Cane Cookies

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely crushed candy cane mixed with 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

Mix all ingredients. Split dough into equal portions.
Color one portion of the dough red.
Refrigerate the dough long enough to be able to easily work with it.
Break off one piece (approx. one teaspoon of each color) and roll by hand into four to five inch tubes.
Twist the two pieces together and bend forming a candy cane.
Sprinkle the top with the candy cane/sugar mixture.
Be careful when removing from the cookie sheet, they will break easily.
Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes.

This is one that I've tried and even made "wreaths" from using green instead of red and skipping the peppermint

My mother gave me the inspiration for the recipe I use...take a standard sugar cookie dough recipe, and prepare as you normally would. Divide the dough exactly in half, and use red food coloring in one half, and leave the other half white. Then take crushed candy canes (a BUNCH), and mix into each ball by hand. Then take a portion of each ball, and twist, and shape into candy cane shapes. Bake as directed in recipe. However, I also add to the actual mix, before divideing in half, a ton of peppermint flavor. These don't even make it into the cookie jar at my house.
