"Candy" Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 F. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and set aside.

In a bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light, about 2-3 minutes. Add peppermint or vanilla extract and the egg, and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients in 3 steps and beat just until combined.

Divide the dough into two equal parts, and add the red food coloring gel to one half. Loosely combine both parts of the dough to create marbled "candycane" effect. Fill each cavity of the silicone mold with the cookie dough, 2/3 of the way.

Bake on 350 F on the middle rack for 10-15 minutes until edges are set.

Allow the baked cookies to fully cool off in the mold after baking before placing them into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, then remove the baked cookie shapes from the mold.

Wash and dry the mold. Pipe/fill the details with the melted coating in each mold's cavity (red details first, freeze for 5 minutes, then fill in with white) Lightly press in the baked cookie shapes and place the mold into the freezer for 15-20 minutes.

Once set, remove from the freezer and unmold the cookies. Package, serve, or enjoy!
