Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Into a large mixing bowl, add Unsalted Butter (170 g), Cane Sugar (200 g), and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp). Beat at medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
step 2
Add Large Eggs (2) one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together All-Purpose Flour (310 g), Baking Powder (1 tsp), Sea Salt (1 tsp), and Ground Ceylon Cinnamon (1/2 tsp).
step 4
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 3 to 4 batches, mixing well between each addition, until dough comes together.
step 5
Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and refrigerate for 1 hour.
step 6
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3- or 4-inch circular cookie cutter (or cutter shape of choice), cut dough into circles.
step 8
Re-roll remaining dough and cut shapes until all dough has been used.
step 9
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
step 10
In a microwave safe bowl, melt Dark Chocolate (225 g) in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted. Alternatively, melt in the top of a double boiler on the stove, stirring until melted.
step 11
Dip each cookie halfway in chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off, place on parchment paper, and sprinkle with Candy Canes (70 g) before chocolate sets.
