Holiday spirit is in the air, and what better way to kick off December with cookies and candy canes! These chocolatey treats will surely bring you some holiday cheer!
Triple Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup crushed candy canes (about 10 miniature)
Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to 2-in. rounds with the bottom of a glass. Bake 6-8 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a microwave, melt white chocolate with 1 teaspoon oil; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Repeat with semisweet chocolate and remaining oil. Sprinkle tops with crushed candy canes; let stand until set. Yield: about 3 dozen.
