Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on medium speed until combined. Beat in the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract until just combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Reduce speed to low. Beat until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half. Remove 1 dough half from the bowl. Add drops of the food coloring to the dough in the bowl until pink. Beat until combined, about 1 minute.
- Roll 1 tablespoon pink dough to a 9-inch rope. Repeat with 1 tablespoon plain dough. Place the 2 ropes side by side. Gently twist and roll the dough ropes together.
- Shape the dough ropes into a pinwheel. Cover to prevent the dough from drying out. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the pinwheel shapes 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges are browned, 8-10 minutes. Immediately sprinkle each cookie with about 1/4 tsp. crushed candy. Cool for 1minute on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
