My Aunt made these and they are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. They
are delicate in flavor and usually a real winner.

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix first 5 ingredients together. Sift flour and
salt together. Stir One half of flour mixture into shortening mixture. Work
remaining flour into mixture with hands until the dough holds together.
Divide dough in half. Mix One half of dough with red food coloring. Pinch off
a bit of white dough and roll into a long cigarette, pinch off a bit of red
dough and roll into a long cigarette. Twist white and red dough together,
place on cookie sheet and bend into a candy cane shape. Bake 9 minutes.
Remove from oven and dust with granulated sugar. The first time you make
them watch the time as your cookies might be larger or smaller than mine
:).
