Cream Cheese Candy Cane Cookies Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In large bowl, combine butter, cream cheese and egg; blend well. Add cake mix; mix until well blended. Divide dough in half. Add food coloring to half of dough; blend well for even red color.

For each cookie, measure 1 teaspoon white dough and 1 teaspoon red dough. Roll out each into 4-inch ropes. Place ropes side by side. Lightly roll together; twist. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet; shape each to resemble candy canes.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or just until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. After they have cooled down completely, store in covered containers. makes 3 dozen
