Directions:
Heat oven to 375º. Mix well shortening, sugar, egg, flavorings. Mix flour, salt and stir in. Divide dough in half. Blend red food coloring into one half. Roll 1 tsp. each color dough on lightly floured board into a strip about 4" long. Place strips side by side, press lightly together and twist like a rope. Put on ungreased baking sheet. Curve top down for handle of cane. Bake 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove while still warm, sprinkle with mixture of 1/2 c. crushed peppermint stick candy and 1/2 c. sugar. Makes about 4 dozen.

Success Tip: Make complete cookies one at a time. If all the dough of one color is shaped first, the little rolls become to dry to twist.
