Instructions
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- Add the softened butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour. Mix just until the dough comes together into a ball around the paddle.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls.
- Place the balls on the parchment-lined baking sheets, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart.
- Press each ball down to form a 1/2-inch thick disc.
- Transfer the cookie dough to the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
- While the dough chills preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes or just until they are beginning to turn golden brown on the bottom.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before topping them with the ganache.
- To make the ganache, add the chopped chocolate and heavy cream to a heat-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and then whisk until smooth. If the chocolate hasn’t fully melted, microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
- Dip each shortbread cookie into the ganache and top with crushed candy canes. Make sure to add the candy canes before the chocolate sets.
- Transfer the cookies back to the fridge and chill until the ganache is set, about 20 minutes.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
