This Sparkly Candy Cane Shortbread Is a Twist on My Mom’s Classic Recipe

Place the red rope next to the white rope so they are in a straight line. Twist the ropes together, trim both ends, and curve the top to make a cane shape. Place the candy cane on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing them at least 1-inch apart, 5 to 6 per baking sheet. If the dough gets too soft to work with, refrigerate until firm before continuing.
