Once your cookie dough is well-mixed, it’s time to add in the crushed candy canes. This step is crucial as it not only enhances the flavor of your Peppermint Bliss Chocolate Dipped Cookies but also adds a delightful texture. When folding in the candy canes, be gentle. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate them into the dough without overmixing. This ensures that the candy pieces are evenly distributed throughout the dough, allowing every bite to carry that refreshing peppermint flavor.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup crushed candy canes

8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add Egg and Extracts: Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla and peppermint extracts, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.

          Fold in Candy Canes: Gently fold in the crushed candy canes to the cookie dough.

            Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

                  Dip Cookies: Once the cookies are cooled, dip the edges into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.

                    Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top of the chocolate-dipped edges for a festive touch.

                      Set and Enjoy: Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and let the chocolate set at room temperature, or refrigerate for quicker results. Enjoy your delightful Peppermint Bliss Chocolate Dipped Cookies!
