Ingredients
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 75 g Caster sugar
- 75 g Light brown sugar

- 200 g Plain flour

Instructions
-
Chop your candy canes into small pieces.
-
Beat the butter with the sugars.
-
Beat in the eggs, flour, cocoa, bicarb, salt, chocolate chunks, peppermint extract and half of the candy canes (about six) until a stiff dough forms.
-
Form the dough into balls (you can weigh each one if you're that way inclined like me, they should be about 40g each).
-
Freeze the dough balls for at least 2 hours. If you don't have time you can skip this step, it just helps them keep their shape.
-
Pre heat your oven to 180deg fan (160deg conventional).
-
Bake on a lined baking for for 10 - 15 minutes depending on your oven.
-
Serve slightly warm, either from the oven or by popping in the microwave for 10 seconds each before eating.
