description
The candy cane are the classic American sugar sticks, usually white and red. Today I always propose them in two-color version, but made by weaving together the classic shortbread with the cocoa one. Delicious and very cute, they are perfect to enjoy at breakfast or snack, but given their shape, you can also use them to decorate the Christmas tree, hanging them on the branches.
preparation
step 1
In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, the yeast, the pinch of salt and the vanillin. Add the soft butter into chunks and knead until a crumbled mixture is obtained.
step 2
At this point add the egg and work everything with your hands. Divide the pastry into two parts and add the cocoa, working it well until it is perfectly mixed.
step 3
Divide both shortcrust pastries into many balls and lengthen them forming snakes. Twist them two by one (a cocoa strip and a white one) and then bend the top part to obtain the shape of the candy cane.
step 4
Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool and then store them in a tin box. They stay great for several days.
