Servings: 36
Ingredients
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 75 g Caster sugar
- 75 g Light brown sugar
- 1 Eggs
- 200 g Plain flour
- 25 g Cocoa
- 0.5 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Waitrose Cooks Ingredients Peppermint extract
- 85 g Waitrose 1 Dark chocolate Cut into small chunks
- 150 g Candy Canes
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.
