    In medium bowl, break up cookie dough. Divide dough in half. Stir or knead 2 tablespoons of the flour into one half of the dough. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Stir or knead candies, food color and remaining 2 tablespoons flour into other half. On separate sheets of parchment paper, press each into 10x6-inch rectangle.

    Using parchment paper, gently lift and place red dough rectangle on top of white dough rectangle. Using parchment paper to guide dough, firmly roll up both layers together, starting with longest side. Cut roll into 20 (1/2-inch) slices.

    On paper-lined cookie sheet, place slices 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
