- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 4 candy canes, crushed
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.
Step 3
Mix in vanilla and eggs. Fold in baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour to form a dough.
Step 4
Use a cookie scooper (I used a 2 tbsp size) to scoop the cookies out onto the lined tray.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil and mix until smooth.
Step 7
Add a spoonful of the melted chocolate on top of each cookie after they cool and top with a sprinkle of the crushed candy canes. Let the chocolate set either at room temperature or in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
