Candy Cane Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 4 oz (115 g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) crushed candy canes
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 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.
- For each cookie, with floured hands, shape a ball with 45 ml (3 tablespoons) of dough. Place six cookies per baking sheet.
- 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.
