Step by step instruction of cooking Biscuits "Christmas candy canes"

Шаг 1

In the bowl of the mixer to mix the butter with powdered sugar, whip at medium speed until complete dissolution of the powder. Next, add the egg yolks, vanilla, almond extract and salt. Beat for another couple of minutes and then add flour, do not beat the dough long, just to complete the mixing of the ingredients.
The dough is very soft and tender.

Шаг 2

For this dough it is best to use powdered sugar. I made it with cane sugar universal "Mistral"

Шаг 3

The dough should be divided into two equal parts, it is advisable to do with weights. If no weights, then give the dough the shape of a bar and divide by the eye.

Шаг 4

One portion of the dough wrap in cling film. Second, the return in the mixer bowl and add red dye. Stir the mixture, until full staining. If you kneaded the dough by hand, at this stage it is better to use a shovel, otherwise the color of your hands will suffer. Red dough also wrap in cling film and put together with white in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Шаг 5

Next you need to divide the dough into same size and number of balls. Again, I suggest you do it with weights. And at first, screwed the balls in white, and then red. Red dough will tint your hands so that red text is better to work separately. Send our balls in the fridge.

Шаг 6

Preheat the oven to 190C.
Take out of the refrigerator for three balls of each color and hands formed flagella approximately 10-12 cm long Red and white dough rolls on different sides of the Board, it is desirable to have a wet towel and when you roll the flagella of red, after rubbing your hands. The dough quickly becomes soft and brittle, so if the last of the three balls was very sticky and soft, put it back in the cold and start another.

Шаг 7

Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Be sure to fully cooled and immediately put in a sealed container, otherwise the cookies become brittle.
Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year!
