Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Step 2
In a bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add a few drops of pink or green food coloring, then add the egg. Mix in the flour to form a dough.
Step 3
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll with the palms of your hands into 2 ropes, each about 40 cm long.
Step 4
Cut each rope into 5 mm thick slices and arrange them on the baking sheets, leaving a little space between each. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Bake for 8 minutes, until the cookies puff up and start to turn golden. As soon as they come out of the oven, use a toothpick to poke a hole in each cookie for threading the ribbon. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
Step 6
Thread the cookies onto 55 cm long ribbons, alternating with the candies (about 7 cookies per ribbon). Tie the ends of each ribbon into loops.
