I use to have one and I haven't been able to find it for years. The cookies were so good. I think about them every Christmas and would love to make them this Christmas. Any recipes will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My question is under the holiday and Christmas category so there is nothing wrong with my question. Never thought I would get grief for my question, all I'm asking for is a recipe .

1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

2. Shape each portion into a 9-in. log. Place one red log next to one white log; twist gently to create one swirled roll. Roll gently until roll becomes one log. Repeat with remaining dough.
