Cut the dough again into half. Dust a surface to where you’ll roll your dough. Now, roll up the 4 portions and make an 8 inch square then place the white dough atop the red dough then roll up; do the same with the other two then wrap dough rolls with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Slice the roll into thin slices and place onto a baking sheet then bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 mins.Beat water and egg white then brush it atop the cookies; garnish with the crushed peppermint-flavored candies.
