Break off one piece (approx. one teaspoon of each color) and roll by hand into four to five inch tubes.
Twist the two pieces together and bend forming a candy cane.
Sprinkle the top with the candy cane/sugar mixture.
Be careful when removing from the cookie sheet, they will break easily.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 6-9 minutes.

My mother gave me the inspiration for the recipe I use...take a standard sugar cookie dough recipe, and prepare as you normally would. Divide the dough exactly in half, and use red food coloring in one half, and leave the other half white. Then take crushed candy canes (a BUNCH), and mix into each ball by hand.

Then take a portion of each ball, and twist, and shape into candy cane shapes. Bake as directed in recipe. However, I also add to the actual mix, before divideing in half, a ton of peppermint flavor. These don't even make it into the cookie jar at my house.

This is one that I've tried and even made "wreaths" from using green instead of red and skipping the peppermint
