Chocolate Chip Candy Cane Cookies {Gluten-free}

December 10, 2010 by Noelle 9 Comments

Chocolate Chip Candy Cane Cookies


It is officially cold and snowy and wintery.


Did I say I was excited for winter and snow?


I think I did. And I regret it.


Everytime I step outside, even if I am all bundled up, I still feel the cold wind.


I do not exactly dislike Michigan it is that I thought I was mentally prepared for it. Ha!


I looked at the weather in Texas and realized it is a balmy 75 degrees. Such a change from the 19 degrees here. Yes, I heard you shiver!


Before we packed up for our concert week, I decided to make a new cookie recipe. I had mentioned to some that I had been wanting chocolate peppermint in a cookie form. I wanted them gluten-free too.


I took a chance and started with a base recipe and added ingredients from there.


The end result was a even mix of flavors with a few crunches of candy cane followed by delicious bites of dark chocolate morsels. YUM!


I am definitely liking gluten-free baking. It creates a nice soft cookie and perfect with each bite. This would go great with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. Enjoy!
