Swirled Mint Cookies

I first made this cookie in 2000. It's very yummy and festive!

Combine and set aside:
2 c flour
1/2 t bs
In another bowl beat
1 cup of butter or marg until soft
slowly add
1 c sugar
then add 1 egg
1 t van
1 t peppermint

Add flour mixture to butter mixture. Divide dough into thirds. Color one third red and another third green. Leave the remaining white. Cover and chill 1 hour.

Divide each dough color into 4 parts. On a lightly floured surface roll each into a 1/2 diameter rope. Place one of each side by side and then twist together. Slice into 1/2 inch peces. Roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with glass to 1/4 inch. Bake at 375 8-10 min. Remove and cool. Makes about 72 cookies.
