Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the crushed candy canes.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use softened butter for the best whipped texture; crush candy canes in a sealed bag for various shard sizes.
