A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
1 cup margarine (softened)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 egg
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
red food coloring
directions
Mix margarine, sugar, milk, extracts and egg together until blended well. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt; then gradually add and mix well.
Split the dough in half, putting one-half in one bowl, and one-half in another bowl. Add to 1-bowl of dough: 1 teaspoon red food coloring. Cover and put both bowls of dough in the refrigerator for about 2-hours.
For each candy cane, use about 1-Tablespoon of dough from each bowl (the red dough and the white dough). Individually roll the piece of dough to form about a 4-inch long rope. Place 1 red and 1 white rope side by side, gentle press tips together, then twist the two pieces. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and curve top of cookie down to shape like a candy cane.
Bake in 375 degrees F oven for 9 to 12 minutes, until white dough just begins to turn golden. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Option #2: You can prepare a candy sprinkle to use by finely crushing 6 candy canes in a food processor, mix this with 1/2 cup of sugar. Sprinkle on cookies immediately after removal from oven.
Option #3: Color the plain dough with green food coloring for red and green candy cane cookies

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

At my office we have a Christmas In July party every year. I bought these cookies this year. They went so fast I didn't get a photo but they turned out really pretty with the crushed candy cane sprinkles.
