White Chocolate Covered Peppermint Biscotti

White Chocolate Covered Peppermint Biscotti

The holidays are about here and I’ve been working on my cookie game.  How are you doing with yours?  Do you have a favorite cookie recipe you always make for the holidays?  I usually go with something simple like a sugar cookie or ginger molasses cookie, but this year I decided to step it up a notch and make biscotti.  (Plus, secretly/not so secretly I want to pretend I’m in Italy.)  To holiday-fy these biscotti I added crushed candy canes and dipped them in white chocolate.  Italians would totally put candy canes in their biscotti, right?

Salted Caramel Corn & Apple Cookies

Salted Caramel Corn & Apple Cookies

Let’s hop right into it! These cookies are major! They’re the sweet/salty cookie lovechild of apple pie and caramel corn with a bit of caramel apple inspiration! The salted caramel corn gives them a slight crunchy/chewy texture and the cinnamon-laced apples leave the cookies soft and moist. They’re a fun combination of textures with the whimsy and nostalgia of county fairs, the circus and the holidays all wrapped up together!
