CHRISTMAS CANDY CANES

-Miles Kimball
3 c Sugar
1 t Peppermint flavoring
1/2 c Water
3/4 c Lt. corn syrup
3/4 ts Red vegetable coloring
1/4 ts Cream of tartar

Any self-respecting Christmas tree has a right to
complain If it isn't decked out with a candy cane. The
sugar, water, syrup, and cream of tartar you combine
and heat till the sugar's dissolved real fine. Divide
into two saucepans, boil, but don't stir, please,
Until each lot 280 degrees. Add 1/2 ts peppermint to
each lot and add the coloring to one, the other not:
place on an enamel or marble table to cool. (First
oiling the table, as a general rule). Like taffy you
stretch and pull and form into ropes of red and white,
now twist them around again and again.
And form them into your candy cane.
Now on an oiled surface you allow them to harden,
then announce to your family that these is ready for
your Christmas tree.

Candy Cane Cookies

Ingredients

Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 cup chopped almonds
2 cups all-purpose flour


Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Approximately 4 to 6 crushed candy canes


Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine butter, sugar, salt and flavoring into large electric mixer bowl and beat until fluffy. Stir in almonds and flour until well blended.

Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a rope and form into a candy cane shape. Place on well-buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat using all of the dough to make 20 to 24 cookies. Bake until slightly browned, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on pan until slightly firm, then carefully remove to a wire rack and cool completely.

For icing, stir powdered sugar and milk together. Add food coloring, if desired. Drizzle on cookies and sprinkle with crushed candy canes
