For the microwave, place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt in 20 second increments, stirring after each increment until melted and smooth. Dip each cookie halfway into the white chocolate and place onto a parchment or silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top of the chocolate. To help set the chocolate place the baking sheet into the refrigerator.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Did you use any of the variations for the white chocolate?

Tis the season for the much awaited peppermint mocha! (Do I hear cheering?)\u00a0Now instead of just drinking your peppermint mocha you can eat it too! These triple chocolate peppermint mocha cookies have a brownie like texture, slightly chewing, with a rich chocolaty center. I have to confess that I did eat 4 of them before I ever dipped them in the white chocolate. They are so good and addictive. These cookies are must add to your Christmas cookie line up. So what makes these cookies so darn good? Well&#8230; everything! There is a great combination of flavors and one does not overpower the other. The dough does need to chill for at least 3 hours. It sounds long but it&#8217;s so worth it. Do not skip this step. The flavors really come together during this time and helps with the texture. Roll the dough into balls and place on your cookie sheet and bake. When it&#8217;s time to take them out the centers may look like they are not done, take them out and let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. You do not want to over bake them.
