Candy Cane Cookies

Jon makes these every Christmas with the kids. This is his mom's recipe.

1 ½ c. butter, softened
1 ½ c. powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 ¼ t. almond extract
1 ½ t. vanilla extract
3 ¾ c. flour
1 ½ t. salt
¾ t. red food coloring

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, almond & vanilla together. Mix in flour & salt. Divide dough in half and add the red food coloring to one of them. Use 1 t. of each, roll into 4 in. strips, lay side by side and twist together. Use an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375° for 9 minutes. (makes 3-4 dozen)
