Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies


Somebody at work was giving away candy canes so I grabbed a box and decided to make these yummy cookies! I took a chocolate chip cookie recipe and substituted crushed candy cane for half of the chocolate chips. I also cut it in half so the amounts are a little weird.  At work, February is the month where we do most of our charitable fund drive fundraising and my unit had a Bake Sale so I decided to make these cookies.

Ingredients













1.9 cups flour
¾ tsp baking soda
3/8 tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/8 cup sugar
1 egg
½ cup brown sugar
¾ TBS vanilla
¾ cups chocolate chips
6 candy canes

Use rolling pin to crush candy canes


Directions
1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking pan.
2.       In Bowl 1: mix flour, baking soda and salt.
3.       In Bowl 2: Cream butter and sugars. Add vanilla and egg and mix.
4.       In parts, mix Bowl 1 into Bowl 2.
5.       Add chocolate chips and crushed candy canes and mix up.

6.       Bake 8-10 minutes.


These were so yummy, they went really quickly at work. I kept some for myself they were so good. I will definitely be using this chocolate chip cookie recipe in the future. I know I have been baking a lot but get used to it for a couple of weeks. Valentine’s day, Ian’s birthday, Pie Contest at work and International Food Fair at work (I will be making my aunt’s Portuguese sweet bread!)  are all coming up!
