Sprinkle with about I tablespoon of the sugar mixture plus some red or green colored sugar. Fold rectangle into thirds (fold one end of dough over center and fold other end over to make three layers). Give dough a quarter turn and repeat rolling, sug- aring and folding two more times.

Roll out into a 16-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Cut into 3-in. x 1-in. strips.

Twist each strip two or three times. Place on chilled ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, sugar mixture and colored sugar. Bake at 3750 for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove cookies to wire racks. Yield: 8 dozen.
