  1. Cream butter, add sugar and beat again.
  2. Add in egg yolk and vanilla and peppermint extract and stir to combine.
  3. Add in flour in 2 additions (meaning fist add half flour, stir well, then add the other half).
  4. Mix until you get a firm and smooth dough. Divide the dough into 2 balls. To one ball add a few drops of food coloring. Wrap dough balls in plastic paper and refrigerate for about 30 min.
  5. After 30 min, take a walnut sized piece of red (/pink) and a walnut sized piece of white dough and roll each color on a lightly floured surface into a 10-12 cm long rope.
  6. Place the 2 ropes side by side and gently twist them together pressing a bit to form a spiral. Shape by bending one end into a hook. Line cookies on a baking paper about 2 cm apart from each other
  7. Bake at 355°F for about 10 min or until the edges of the cookies start browning.
  8. Let cookies cool down completely on a wire rack
