CANDY CANE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Arrange the oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°F). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and the brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and fully combined, 2-3 minutes (alternatively, use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer).

• Take 1 tablespoon of each dough and roll them into 4-inch-long ropes. Press the ropes together, twirl them into a spiral, then roll into a ball using the palms of your hands. Repeat with the remaining dough. (Tip: wear rubber gloves to prevent the food coloring from staining your skin.)
• Roll each cookie dough ball in the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 3 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets and swapping from top to bottom rack halfway through, until they are lightly browned on the edges and puffed, 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately bang the baking sheets on the countertop to deflate the cookies slightly.
