powdered sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 teaspoon almond
extract.
2 Blend in 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 1/2 cups flour.

Repeat until you fill a baking sheet.

In a small bowl mix 1/2 cup crushed candy canes and 1/2 cup white sugar.
Sprinkle each candy cane with crushed candy cane and sugar mixture.

NOTE: Try to make the ropes thin so the candy cane cookies aren't too big.

cooling rack to cook completely before storing in an airtight container.
