Favorite Ingredient Friday - Cookie Edition

This week I received the Kraft Food & Family Magazine and it has a lot of great holiday recipes - just in time for the FIF Cookie Edition! I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I sure plan on making it soon!

Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies


Ingredients:
1. 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2. 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
3. 1 cup sugar
4. 2 tsp. vanilla
5. 2-1/2 cups flour
6. 1/2 tsp. baking soda
7. 4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
8. 1 pkg. (6 oz.) BAKER'S Premium White Baking Chocolate
9. 12 hard peppermint candies, crushed

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350ºF. Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Blend in semi-sweet chocolate.

SHAPE tablespoonfuls of dough into 52 balls. Roll each ball into 3-inch-long rope. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet, bending top of each slightly to resemble a candy cane.

BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until lightly browned; cool 5 min. on baking sheet. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely. Microwave white chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over cookies. Sprinkle with crushed candies. Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Is that magazine not the best?? M ex husband worked for Kraft so I started getting it years ago before they put it out for the public. I have always thought it was very well done!!!

Love that picture of those PB cookies!!! YUM.
