BIG OR LITTLE COOKIES – IT’S YOUR CHOICE

We are back to mini cookies today. With so much baking going on right now, we like the idea of enjoying different things at once and that is much easier to do if you are having small bites. Yep, these are the “small plates” of the cookie world.

Sure, Crumbl serves cookies as big as your head but that doesn’t mean you have to make them that way at home.  If you like a “shareable cookie” size which is big enough for two, you should use about 1/4 cup of dough per cookie. If you like mini cookies that are all yours and gone in 2-3 bites, make them mini.

1/2 cup Butter

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/3 cup Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Peppermint Extract

1/2 TBSP light corn syrup

1/2 cup dark cocoa

1 1/4 cup Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

PEPPERMINT BARK COOKIE DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet. 

2. Cream the butter, brown sugar and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are blended.

3. Add in the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract and beat until combined.

4. Add in flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt. Stir until all combined.

5. Stir in chocolate chips.

6. Scoop out about 1 TBSP of dough for smaller cookies (or 1/4 cup dough for BIG cookies). Place dough balls on prepared pan (12 cookies to a pan if small cookies and 6 to a pan if BIG cookies).

7. Bake for about 10-11 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack. NOTE: Baking time will be longer if you make BIG cookies.

8. Melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir and continue melting 15 seconds at a time until fully melted.

9. Spoon about 1 tsp of melted white chocolate on top of each cookie. Carefully spread chocolate and sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Enjoy these cookies chilled or warm. Your choice.
