I love a good chewy, tender cookie!  When I was coming up with ideas for Christmas recipes, I knew I wanted to make a cookie recipe using the dough that I use for my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies.  It is so soft and delicious!  I decided on adding both white and semisweet chocolate and candy canes to make cookies reminiscent of peppermint bark!

These cookies are sure to get you in a festive mood, here are some more great Christmas recipes to try this year:

  • Gingerbread Scones -- soft scones with molasses and gingerbread spices.
  • Peppermint Chocolate Chunk Brownies -- fudgy chocolate chunk brownies with candy canes and peppermint extract!
  • Butter Tarts -- a Christmas classic!  These pictures need to be updated but the recipe is still great!

I love baking Christmas treats for everyone to enjoy! It's just so special to share homemade baked goods at Christmastime!!  Listening to Christmas music and drinking hot tea while baking is one of my favourite holiday traditions!

The crushed candy canes make these cookies so pretty and festive looking while adding great peppermint flavour and a little crunch!  The white chocolate is so creamy and light and the semisweet chocolate gives a bittersweet flavour to offset both!  So yummy!

    This recipe perfectly captures Christmas in a cookie! I made a double batch yesterday, and they've already been a huge hit. My grandpa has been in our house for less than 12 hours, and I can't tell you how many he's eaten already. 😂 Super yummy!
