$0.65/servingIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with these sugar cookies with a twist! Get into the holiday spirit with these gluten-free goodies shaped like candy canes.

- Using a stand mixer (with paddle attachment) or hand mixer, on low speed, beat mix with butter, egg, and vanilla until a uniform dough forms.
- Divide dough in half and remove one half from the bowl. Add 3 drops of food colouring to remaining dough in the bowl. Mix on low until colour is evenly distributed (you may have to use a spatula or your hands to help work the colour into the dough). Add more food colouring as needed, 2–3 drops at a time, until the dough is a bright red.
- Roll each dough ball into a 1" thick disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hr or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line Sheet Pan with Sheet Pan Liner.
- Divide white dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 5" long and arrange on pan. Repeat with red dough. Arrange one red rope next to each white rope on the pan.
- Twist each white and red rope together, then roll again to smoothen them together. Place back on pan and curve the tops to form candy cane shapes.
- Bake 14–15 min or until cookies have set (the bottoms will be golden-brown and they won't look shiny). Let cool completely on pan before handling.
