Pair chocolate and peppermint together and you have a winner!&nbsp;&nbsp; I love chocolate and peppermint together.&nbsp; Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies fit right into the season of peppermint.&nbsp; With double chocolate and candy cane pieces sprinkled on top, these cookies are a decadent treat.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I often find it difficult to find a gluten free, dairy free cookie that is worthy of a cookie exchange.&nbsp; I want cookies to be delicious on their own and not seem a substitute for something.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t get me wrong, some substitutes are great!&nbsp; But a lot of the time, the texture or the flavor isn&#8217;t quite the same as the original.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies definitely are not a substitute.&nbsp; With all of the chocolaty goodness, they will be the star of the cookie platter!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some Baking Tips:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This recipe calls for a gluten free flour mix and xanthan gum.&nbsp; If you use a flour mix that already contains xanthan gum, you can omit the xanthan gum in the recipe.&nbsp; Any gluten free flour mix will work, but my favorite mix is Bob&#8217;s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour.<\/p>\n<p>For a dairy free option, replace the butter with Spectrum shortening.&nbsp;&nbsp;Enjoy Life chocolate chips are my go-to for dairy free chocolate chips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px;

If the melted chocolate is still warm, the cookies won&#8217;t keep their shape and will ooze all over the cookie sheet (Ask me how I know!). Chilling the batter for at least an hour will make everything so much easier.<\/p>\n<p>I crush the candy canes by placing them into a ziploc bag and pounding on them with a meat mallet.&nbsp; Be sure to place a cutting board underneath the ziploc bag to protect your counter top.&nbsp; This is a great way to get rid of any frustrations that you may have.&nbsp; Break up the candy canes until they are in small pieces.<\/p>\n<h3>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<h3>Get ready to enjoy some chocolatey peppermint goodness.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"blog-yumprint-recipe
