Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bark

I made pepperment bark last year and it was so yummy! I can only imagine how sugar cookie could improve it and make it that much better! Thanks Betty Crocker for this idea...

 

 

 

 

1

pouch Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix

1/3

cup butter, softened

1

egg

1

bag (12 oz) white vanilla baking chips (2 cups)

1/3

cup coarsely crushed peppermint candy canes (14 miniature)

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with foil. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. Press dough into 12-inch square on cookie sheet.
2. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown; cool.
3. In microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until chips can be stirred smooth. Pour and spread over cooled cookie base. Immediately sprinkle with candy. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.
4. Gently break up cookie bark. Store tightly covered.
