- Melt the chocolate either in a medium saucepan on low on the stove (making sure to constantly stir until just melted or in the microwave on 10 second increments, stirring in between. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.)
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Add the melted chocolate and fold into the wet mixture with a spatula until combined.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet and fold with a spatula until combined.
- Using a cookie scoop-place 6-8 round cookies 2-inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
- While the cookie cools- melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave heat proof bowl on 15 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted.
- Place candy canes in a sealed plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin or something heavy like the bottom of a cup.
- Dip the cooled cookies in the white chocolate and place on a cookie rack with parchment paper (for easy clean up) to dry. Immediately sprinkle peppermint candy on top of the white chocolate.
