CANDY CANE COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup superfine sugar, plus more for rolling
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour
Red sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, superfine sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until incorporated. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a rectangle; tightly wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread some red sanding sugar and superfine sugar on separate plates. Gently roll heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into short logs with your hands. One at a time, roll half of the logs in red sanding sugar to form 4-inch strands. Repeat with the remaining logs and superfine sugar. Twist 1 strand of each color together, then arrange on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart, and bend the tops to form candy canes. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set and lightly browned around the edges, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

SUNNY'S CHOCOLATE CHIP CANDY CANE COOKIES



Sunny's Chocolate Chip Candy Cane Cookies image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, gently chopped
1/4 cup (2 ounces) coarsely crushed red or green candy canes (4 to 5 candy canes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Blend on high with the paddle attachment until the sugar granules are less visible and the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula, then add the egg and blend on low until combined, stopping to scrape the sides more to incorporate.
  • Prepare the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and baking soda. Stir and toss with a spoon or fork.
  • Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl and, while off, add half of the flour mixture. Turn on low and mix until combined; this should only take 5 to 6 rotations of the paddle. Stop and scrape the sides again, then add the other half of the flour and mix on low the same way. Turn off the mixer.
  • Add the chopped chocolate chips and crushed candy canes. Turn the mixer back on low and blend until just combined; this should only take 3 to 4 rotations of the paddle.
  • Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough balls the size of golf balls, 1 tablespoon each, and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheet, about 8 cookies per sheet. Bake until the edges are set and the center is cooked through, but still soft, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies for 2 to 3 minutes on the sheets. Then, holding the baking sheet over a wire cooling rack, remove the cookies from the sheet by gripping the baking sheet with one hand and the parchment paper on the opposite side with your other hand. Gently slide the parchment paper off the sheet with the cookies still on top, resting the parchment and cookies on the wire rack beneath until cool. This cookie removal/cooling trick takes coordination, so think about it before you do it and easy on the egg nog.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies image

Bake these delicious cookies when you don't have other plans for the oven, because they'll need three hours at a very low heat to reach just the right white crispness on the outside and a perfect tenderness on the inside.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
2 cups (one 12-ounce bag) semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 175 degrees. Line several baking sheets or parchment paper with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats), and set baking sheets aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until they form soft peaks. Sprinkle a few spoonfuls of superfine sugar over beaten egg whites, and whisk in on low speed.
  • Increase speed of mixer; whisking constantly, continue adding superfine sugar, a spoonful at a time, until all has been incorporated and mixture is firm enough to hold stiff and glossy peaks. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pipe or spoon small mounds of mixture onto baking sheets, spacing mounds about 1 inch apart. Bake meringues until completely dry to the touch, about 3 hours, ensuring they do not brown.
  • Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days. Before serving, dust meringues with confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies image

This was adapted from another meringue recipe that I got online. What can I say...it's all about the chocolate. I like these two ways...undercooked and chewy/crispy and dried hard and more crisp-ety. These make excellent gifts when dried all the way because they are supposed to keep a long time.

Provided by Caryn Dalton

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h40m

Yield 20 cookies, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg whites, warmed to room temperature in the shell (Just put the eggs in a bowl of lukewarm water while you are prepping other ingredients)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy (about 90 seconds more after all sugar has been added). Please note that it is important to beat the whites long enough. The cookies will spread and be thinner rather than lofty (as shown in the pic) if poured on the sheet prematurely. You don't want the whites to break (start to get crumbly and break a part) .that will result in failed meringues but you are going to beat these a long time -- sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more! A stand mixer sure is a plus here. What we are doing is incorporating air into the egg whites. That is what makes these cookies lofty, big and light in texture!
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop meringue by the 1/4 cup (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a release).
  • For chewy cookies with a slightly crispy outer crust: Bake until dry and slightly crispy on outside about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.
  • For crispy more traditional meringues, cook until dry and crispy through about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.

Tips:

  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature for a longer time to ensure they are cooked through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip candy cane meringue cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. They are light and airy, with a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. The combination of chocolate chips and candy canes gives them a sweet and minty flavor that is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cookies at home and enjoy them with your friends and family.
