Crushing candy canes can be a bit of a chore. I put them into a double ziploc gallon bag and slam them with a meat pounder. Mix crushed candy and granulated sugar; immediately sprinkle over cookies. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing from cookie sheet.

These can be wrapped pretty in treat bags as little gifts. I made them into pinwheel lollipops for my granddaughters birthday party.
