candy cane crumble nutella cookie recipe tips
- Cocoa Powder: Any unsweetened cocoa powder or dutch process cocoa can be used. The more flavourful, the better the chocolate taste.
- Crushed Candy Canes: You can crush candy canes for these cookies, or buy pre-crushed canes. If you don’t want to use candy canes, feel free to use sprinkles.
- Let the dough chill. Make sure not to skip this step…the dough is quite soft so it needs to chill before you can roll it into balls.
- Optional Ingredient: If you want these cookies to be extra chocolatey, you can add 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Can I freeze these cookies? The chocolate cookies can be frozen, but leave the crushed candy canes off them as they get soft after freezing.
I hope you love these cookies too!
