baking soda1 teaspoon
4
Scoop the cookie dough into 2 tbsp balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the cookies in the freezer for a minimum of ⏱️ 3-4 hours, or until frozen solid. Overnight will yield the best flavor!
5
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F(180°C). Bake the frozen cookies spaced at least 2 inches apart for ⏱️ 9-10 minutes. They will look pale and still underbaked when you pull them out but will continue to bake and firm up while cooling.
6
Press more candy cane pieces and dark chocolate chips to the tops. Then let the tray cool completely on a wire rack before removing and enjoy!
7
Store leftover baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Store the frozen cookie dough balls in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 1 month. After this time, the candy canes start to melt and disappear into the cookie dough.
