1/4 tsp salt

1/2 C. unsalted butter @ room temp

1 C. powdered sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz. white chocolate candy melts melted w/

1tsp. shortening

Stir together flour & salt. In your stand mixer, beat butter & sugar in a large bowl until smooth & creamy.  Beat in egg and then peppermint and vanilla.  On low speed, beat in flour mixture.  Shape dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap.  Refrigerate 1 hour.

 

Heat oven to 350. Coat baking sheets w/ Pam. Grab dough from fridge and shape into 1in. balls.  Place on baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.  Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

 

When cookies are almost cool, melt your chocolate & shortening in the microwave or double boiler.  Put your chopped candy canes in a small bowl.  Dip top of each cookie into melted white chocolate and then immediately into crushed candy canes.  Let harden on wax paper & enjoy!!
