Peppermint Bark Cookies

I love Peppermint Bark!  These cookies taste just like peppermint bark and are so easy to make.  No mixer required.  They are the perfect last minute holiday cookie to make.

8 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Squares
3/4 c Brown Sugar - Packed
1/4 c Butter - Soften
1 tsp vanilla
2 Eggs
1 c Flour 
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 c White Chocolate Chips
1 c Crushed Up Candy Cane Pieces

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 

Microwave the semi-sweet chocolate in a large. microwave safe bowl, on high for 2 minutes.  Stir until the chocolate is melted.  Stir in the sugar, butter and vanilla with a wooden spoon.  Add the eggs and stir until well blended.

Stir in the flour and baking powder.  Add the white chocolate chips and candy cane pieces and stir to combine.  Place golf ball size bites of dough on the baking sheets.  Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until cookies puff and feel set to the touch.  Let cook for a minute on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.  Once cooled completely store in an air tight container.

​Makes about 24 cookies.
