Preparation

Step 1

1.Stir together salt and flour. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and extracts. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture. Dough will be crumbly, but you can press it into a dough ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
2.Shape dough into 1 inch balls and bake on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes. Move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
3.Melt chocolate. Dip the tops of the cookies into the chocolate and roll in crushed candy canes. Place on waxed paper to harden. Makes about 3 dozen.
