Candy Cane Cookies Recipes

Source: Inspired by my mother-in-law, Nancy and the Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 package mini chocolate chips (12 oz.)
• 3 candy canes, peppermint flavor

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place candy canes in a ziptop bag and hit it a few times with a meat tenderizer (flat side) or hammer. The candy cane will soften when baked, so the size of the final crushed pieces doesn't matter too much.

2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside

 
3. Cream butter and sugar together, add in vanilla extract and then eggs, mixing well at each step. Add in flour mixture slowly so it is entirely incorporated.

 
4. Stir in chocolate chips and crushed candy cane until it is fully mixed.

 

 
5. Place spoonfuls of cookie dough on a cookie sheet, 12 -20 per sheet. I made some big and some little so I would have a variety of sizes. These spread and flatten when cooking, so be sure to leave space between.

6. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
7. Let cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet, them move them to a cooling rack. If they fall apart when moving, let them cool longer.
