Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

so i have started my christmas baking. kinda excited about that. these are a new recipe for me. but they taste sooo good!!

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup finely chopped unsweetened chocolate (2 oz/60 g)

1 cup sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup Rogers All Purpose Flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup white chocolate chunks

3 candy canes, crushed

1. In a microwaveable bowl, combine butter and unsweetened chocolate. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then microwave again in 30 second intervals until chocolate is mostly melted. Stir to melt the remaining chunks. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Sprinkle flour mixture over chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in white chocolate chunks. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake 7 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Return to oven 2-4 minutes longer, until edges are crackled and centres are just set. Remove and cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
