Soft Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, light brown sugar and softened butter with a mixer until thoroughly combined. I used a stand mixer for this step, but you can use a hand mixer as well.
Add egg and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the larger bowl with the sugar mixture and mix until it turns into a dough.
Use a cookie scoop or measure the dough into 1 ½ heaping tablespoons. Place the dough on the parchment paper.
Use the underside of a cup to flatten out the cookie dough.
Bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove cookies from oven before they start to brown.
Place cookies on a wire rack to cool. While cookies are cooling, remove the wrapper and placing the candy canes in a zip top bag and seal. Crush the candy canes by using a rolling pin. Leave some large chunks intact.
Melt chocolate chips in small batches in microwave according to package directions.
Dip the cookies in the melted white chocolate or spoon the white chocolate on half of the cookie.
Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Let the chocolate harden and then these candy cane cookies are ready to eat!
