Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
Ingredients:
12 Tablespoons Hersheys Cocoa (unsweetened baking) powder
1 1/2 Cups butter (3 sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups granulated sugar
2 beaten eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 Cup honey
2 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon real Vanilla extract
4 cups flour
Topping:
1/4 Cup granulated sugar
1/4 Cup finely crushed mini candy canes (about 24)
Directions:
Melt butter & cocoa together in a large bowl, in microwave for 1 minute on High. Remove and stir until completely blended. Set aside to cool. In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups sugar with beaten eggs. Beat until uniform an pale yellow in color. Add the baking soda and salt and mix well. Add the honey, water & vanilla. Check the bowl with the chocolate mixture. If it is comfortable to the touch, add the sugar/ egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well. Add half the flour (2 cups) and mix it in. Add the remaining flour and mix completely.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
While oven is heating, place cookie dough in refrigerator to cool. Put candy canes in plastic ziplock bag and crush with a hammer, or rolling pin. Or use a food processor or clean coffee grinder. Mix 1/4 cup sugar with candy cane powder in a shallow, wide bowl & set aside. Roll the chocolate dough into 1" size balls then roll in the sugar & candy mixture. Place them 2" apart on cookie sheet covered with parchment. Bake 12-14 minutes. Cookies should double in size and crack on the surface. Some of the candy canes will melt & spread (this is OK.) Let cool on cookie pan for 1 minute, then remove to rack to cool. Clean any melted candy from pan or it will stick.
Yield: 8 dozen cookies Pour a glass of mile and enjoy!
