Chocolate & Candy Cane Slice and Bake Cookies are so pretty and festive on top of being delicious and indulgent. Super crumbly dark chocolate cookie, dipped in sweet white chocolate, and sprinkled with crushed candy canes – Perfection!

The best part about slice and bake cookies is that they’re so easy to make – all you have to is form the dough into a log, then…slice…and bake. Simple, right?

If you’d like to introduce an extra flavour into this cookie, feel free to add a small dash of peppermint extract to the dough.

As always, let me know if you make them, I’d love to see!

Happy indulging,
