Cookie #2 in the 2012 series using the Master Cookie Dough is a chocolaty, crunchy delight. Crushed candy canes add a hint of minty freshness, while the rich dark chocolate adds balance to the sweetness of the cookie and candy.
If dark chocolate is not your thing, they would be equally good with milk or white chocolate drizzles. Or a combination of dark and white, or milk and white, or dark and milk, or . . . oh, you get it.

Ingredients
- 1 cup master cookie dough
