Candy Cane & White Chocolate Chip Cookies!

So Christmas day has passed and you've probably over eaten, especially all of the biscuits and chocolates which you weren't allowed to open until the big day had arrived!

But you still have food left and if your house is anything like in my house then candy canes are usually the last to go, so I have a recipe to help use them up. To make this easier I have kept the recipe similar to the christmas spice cookies.

Ingredients:

100g of butter

140g brown sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 egg

200g plain flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch of salt

1 tsp of vanilla extract

200g white chocolate chips
2 candy canes, any flavour you choose

Directions

First melt the butter, sugar and syrup, do this either in the microwave or in a pot over simmering water. Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees or gas mark 4

While the butter is melting, mix the flour, salt, baking powder and mixed spice together in a different bowl.

Next beat the egg into butter mixture, followed by the flour mixture.

Once the ingredients are mixed together put it in the fridge to cool down (it will stop the chocolate chips from melting)

Line 2 baking sheets with greaseproof paper.

Once the mix is cool, add half of the chocolate chips to the mix.

Put the  candy canes into a ziplock bag and crush them into smaller pieces

Next roll the mix into little balls and put them on the grease proof paper 

After press the remaining chips into the top, not to hard, just enough to hold them.

Next pop them in the oven, but not to high up because the chocolate will burn.

After the cookies have been in for about 8 minutes add the crushed candy to the top of the cookies and place them back into the oven for the remaining time

Bake for around 12-15 minutes, the cookies will darken in colour, but should still feel soft.

Once the cookies are finished out of the oven let them cool for a few minutes be for touching them, then transfer them to a cooling rack!

I hope you guys all had a good christmas!
