Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams crushed candy canes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Fold in the crushed candy canes gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball of dough with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create crisps.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the Candy Cane Crisps immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
