1/2 cup white sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ. Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavorings throughly.
2. Add flour and salt, mix well.
3. Shape dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap; chill for at least 2 hours or until easy to handle.
4. Roll into 4 inch strips; place on baking sheet. Curve top down to form a handle or cane.
5. Bake 9 minutes. While still warm, remove from pan and sprinkle with candy and sugar mixture.
