STEP 3
Divide dough in half. Stir candy into half of dough. Beat food color into remaining half of dough.
-
STEP 4
Roll 1 teaspoon of each dough to 4-inch rope to create each candy cane. Place 2 ropes side by side; twist gently and roll dough together. (For best results, complete cookies 1 at a time to prevent drying out.)

Bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Let stand 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack.
