["Cream butter and sugars together; add egg yolks. Stir in extracts and set aside. Combine salt and flour; stir into sugar mixture. Divide dough in 2 equal portions and tint one portion red. Remove one tablespoon of dough from each bowl. On a very lightly floured surface, shape each tablespoon of dough by rolling under both hands to form a rope. Place the 2 ropes side-by-side and gently twist together. Carefully bend the top to form a candy cane; continue with remaining dough in each bowl. Place candy canes on an ungreased baking sheet, about one inch apart; bake at 350\u00b0 for 8 minutes. Do not brown. Let cool on baking sheet.", "Make one of these adorable bags for each guest at your cookie exchange party to carry home samples from the party.
