These turned out perfect. Nice and crispy on the outside with a soft melt in the mouth explosion on the inside. I was really impressed. A bit like shortbread with a minty twist.

Gradually add the flour and salt; mix well.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

Coat two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed candy canes and the granulated sugar; mix well.
