For Christmas! Candy Cane Cookies

I got the candy cane shape idea from an American recipe website, so I made it with my favorite cookie batter called "melting moment" which is equivalent to snowball cookies in Japan I think. This cookie is so delicious! If you can't shape it well, roll it up into balls and simply bake!

The dough is not easy to roll out, so do not make it too small, or it will break after baking. I recommend making the stick thick. If the cookies brown too much, the coloring won't turn out as cute, so be careful not to over bake! Please try this with your favorite cookie batter. For about 28 sticks. Recipe by aquariusmoon

    Preheat the oven to 175℃. Take 5 g of each dough, and roll each piece into about 10 cm long sticks. Place 2 colors of sticks to put together.

  8. 8

    Twist the sticks, and bend one edge to shape into a candy cane. Line the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    It's a bit hard to show 3 colours evenly, but it's cute anyway!
