Candy Cane Cookies

1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. butter
1 c. powder sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. red food coloring
1/2 c. crushed peppermint candy
1/2 c. sugar

Heat over to 375. Mix shortening, butter, sugar, egg, almond, vanilla. Mix
flour and salt; stir into shortening mixture. Divide dough in half. Blend
in food coloring into one half. Roll a 4" strip (using 1 tsp. dough) from
each color. For smooth, even strips, rool them back and forth on lightly
floured board. Place strips side by side, press lightly together and twist
like a rope. For best results, complete one cookie at a time. Place on a
greased baking sheet. Curve top down to form handle of cane. Bake about 9
min., until lightly browned. While still warm, remove from sheet and
sprinkle with mix of candy and sugar.
