Ingredients
330 g All-Purpose Flour
1 Egg
150 g Sugar
200 g Unsalted Butter, softened
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Powdered Sugar (for smooth texture)
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Red Food Coloring (gel or liquid)
Instructions
Cream It: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Form Dough: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Divide & Color: Split dough in half. Leave one half plain; color the other half red.
Shape the Canes: Roll small pieces of each dough into ropes. Twist one red and one plain rope together and curve the top to form a cane shape.
Chill: Place shaped cookies on a lined baking sheet and chill for 15–20 minutes to prevent spreading.
Bake: Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes or until edges are just turning golden. Cool on rack
