    Combine flour and salt; stir into butter mixture until well blended.

    Cover or wrap dough and chill for at least one hour.

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Divide dough into halves. Color one half red by mixing in the food color.

    Roll a small amount of each dough into a 2 inch long worm. Roll them together in a twisted rope and curve the end like a cane.

    Place onto prepared cookie sheets.

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

    Mix crushed candy cane and remaining white sugar in a small bowl.

    Roll hot cookies in sugar mixture. Let cookies cool and enjoy!
