What are these holiday cookies called?

My grandmother in law passed away and hubby and I were not lucky enough to receive her recipes.
I would like to give some details about these cookies and see if anyone knows what they are called.

They are pink and white and usually "braided" together and then curved at the top to form the shape of a candy cane.
they are somewhat of a "sweet" cookie, yet the pink and white parts of the cookies have two very distinct flavors.

hopefully someone can help, if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
