Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Add sifted powder sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, peppermint extract, and salt. Beat well. Add flour and beat until well mixed. Divide dough in half. Stir food coloring into one half. Cover each half separately and chill for 30 minutes. For each cookie, on a light floured surface, shape a teaspoonful of plain dough into a 4 inch rope. Repeat with the red dough. Place ropes side by side and twist, then form into candy cane shape. Place on ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 375º for 8-10 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes, then allow to cool on a baking rack.
