Ingredients
-
1 pkg My Better Batch Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
- 1 Large Egg
- 8 TBSP Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 pkg Peppermint Candy Canes
Directions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean up.
Unwrap the peppermint candy canes and place them into a resealable bag, such as a freezer bag. Press as much air out of the bag as possible before closing. Taking a rolling pin, gently tap the candy canes, breaking them into smaller pieces. Break enough for about 1 cup. Place in a small bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the double chocolate chip cookie mix, 1 large egg, and 8 TBSP of softened unsalted butter. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix on medium speed, until the ingredients have been fully combined.
If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can hand knead the dough!Once the cookie dough is ready, take 2 tablespoons and gently roll into a ball. Take each individual ball and dip into the bowl with peppermint candy cane pieces, applying a generous topping.
Place each peppermint topped cookie on the cookie sheets, 2 ½ inches apart.Bake for 9-11 minutes and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then cool and enjoy!
