In a large glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites, vinegar, and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in 1/3 of the crushed candy canes, keeping the rest aside. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls one inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top.
