Candy Cane peppermint cookies.

Merry Christmas! A great day for cookies! 

So these are great Christmas cookies. My kids like them even d who hates chocolate chips.

This recipe is interesting because the first time I did it they were great and the second- not so much. 

So the trick here is to chill them. Don't skip this! Maybe even leave it overnight. 

1/2 lb butter. I used kerrygold butter. I like the taste of European style churned butter. However if you have a local farmer buy from them! You will think you changed the world with cookie making skills. 

1 cup brown sugar (light) 

1 1/3 cup white sugar. 

Cream 2 minutes on medium speed. 

3 large eggs 

2 tsp vanilla 

1tbsp heavy cream

Add in 3 parts 

Mix until just incorporated. 

1tsp baking soda

1tsp cornstarch 

1tsp salt

(These should all be heaping teaspoons) 

4 cups flour 

Stir dry ingredients together. Then add them to the rest in at least 4 parts. 

3 peppermint bark candy bars or the equivalent of 3 cups. 

1 bag chocolate chips. 

Cut in small pieces and stir in 1/4 inch pieces for the measurement lovers. I found awesome candy bars at wegmans the first time then when to whole foods and found adorable candy cane pieces. 

Chill 4-24 hours. 

Scoop out on sheets and let chill an additional hour. 

Bake at 375 for about 11 minutes or until done.
