Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In large, micro-wave safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir, repeating at 15 second increments until chocolate and butter are completely melted.
• Remove from microwave and allow to cool 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Once butter/chocolate mixture has cooled, stir in sugars, eggs and vanilla.
• In separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until completely combined.
• Drop cookie dough by rounded 1½ scoop onto parchment paper, pressing down to flatten slightly.
• Bake 8-10 minutes, allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to cookie rack to cool completely before dipping in chocolate.
• Have your crushed candy canes ready before preparing your chocolate.
• Prepare white chocolate by placing in medium-sized microwave-safe bowl with 2 tsp shortening. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir, then continue to microwave at 15-second increments (stirring between well after each 15-second increment) until chocolate is completely melted (do NOT microwave too long).
• Dip cookies 1/3-1/2 of the way in white chocolate and place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet to harden.
• Immediately after dipping each cookie, sprinkle with crushed candy canes (do not wait too long or the chocolate will harden and the crushed candy cane will not stick).
• Allow chocolate to harden before serving.
