1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup Butter Flavor CRISCO All-Vegetable Shortening or 1 Butter Flavor CRISCO Stick
2 eggs
1/4 cup light corn syrup or regular pancake syrup
1 tbsp vanilla
3 cups flour (plus 2 tbsp), divided
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Green food color
Place sugar and shortening in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well-blended. Add eggs, syrup, and vanilla; beat until well-blended and fluffy.
Combine 3 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add gradually to shortening mixture, beating at low speed until well-blended. Place half of dough in medium bowl. Stir in peppermint extract and food color, a few drops at a time, until desired shade of green. Shape each dough ball into disk. Wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours or until firm.
Sprinkle about 1 tbsp flour on large sheet of waxed paper. Place peppermint dough on floured paper; flatten slightly with hands. Turn dough over; cover with another large sheet of waxed paper. Roll dough into 14 x 9 inch rectangle. Set aside.
Repeat with plain dough. Remove top sheet of waxed paper from both dough balls. Invert plain dough onto peppermint dough, aligning edges carefully. Roll layers together lightly. Remove waxed paper from plain dough. Trim dough to form rectangle. Roll dough tightly in jelly-roll fashion starting with long side and using bottom sheet of waxed paper as a guide, removing waxed paper during rolling. Wrap roll in waxed paper; freeze at least 30 minutes or until very firm.
Heat oven to 375. Place sheets of foil on countertop for cooling cookies. Remove roll from freezer; remove wrapping. Cut into 3/8 inch-thick slices. Place slices 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges of cookies are very lightly browned. Do not over bake. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely.
