Candy Cane Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients, chocolate, and candy.

4. 4

   For each cookie, with floured hands, shape a ball with 45 ml (3 tablespoons) of dough. Place six cookies per baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake one sheet at a time, for about 7 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges. The cookies will still be very soft in the centre. Let cool completely.
