  • 1 3/4 cups sugar plus more for rolling
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • White chocolate and crushed candy canes for decorating if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper or a non-stick liner. Set aside.
  • In a bowl stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of your mixer or in a medium sized bowl with a hand mixer beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat till combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat just until combined and no flour remains.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy as-is or decorate with a little white chocolate and crushed candy cane sprinkles.
