Servings: persons

1 cup butter (salted)
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Pinch saigon cinnamon (or regular)
2 1/3 cups white all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup crushed candy canes
1 1/2 cups marsh mellows
Pinch (Hershey's) unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch kosher salt

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F. Melt the butter in the microwave and put in a mixer. (Preferably a mixer however, a bowl with an egg beater works too).
2
Add the two sugars to the mixture and mix at a medium high speed until blended, about 1 minute. Then add the vanilla and eggs to the batter until well mixed.
3
In another bowl, mix the flour (sifted) , salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Then, slowly, add this to the batter while the mixer is on a low setting.
4
Put a small glass bowl on top of a saucepan of boiling water.(Or a double boiler). Add the chocolate chips, a tiny tiny bit of butter, and a tad of half and half. Melt this till smooth.
5
Removing the paddle attachment, get a wood spoon. Fold in the candy canes, chocolate, and marsh mellows. At this point, if you have weak tasting candy canes, you should add a tad of peppermint extract.
6
Get a lightly greased sheet pan and scoop 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch blobs of dough onto it. You can add a marsh mellow on top if you like. Pop it in the oven and cook till a knife comes out clean, about 5-7 minutes.
7
Take out the sheet, and enjoy!
