It’s time for The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap reveal!
This is the 2nd year for the cookie swap, and it has just been so much fun.
for putting it all together. I so appreciate it!
The best thing about this years cookie swap is that it was also
a benefit for Cookies For Kids’ Cancer, and OXO matched every donation
by participants of the swap!! How cool is that!
Great cookies and a great cause!
So here is what I sent!
Candy Cane Puffs
(adapted from Pillsbury)
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
2 1/2 cups Flour
pinch Salt
2 cups Almond Bark
10 Candy Canes, crushed
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Prepare your baking sheets by spraying them with
cooking spray, or use parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Scrape bowl down.
Beat in your egg, vanilla, and peppermint.
Beat in your flour and salt.
Wrap your dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
After the hour, shape the dough into 1″ balls
and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool on cooling rack for 30 minutes
Melt the white almond bark, and dip the top of each cookie
into the melted bark.
Place crushed candy cane on the top of each cookie.
Enjoy!
