Cream together sugar, butter, egg, salt and food coloring.
Stir in baking powder, flour and vanilla.
Add chocolate chips.
Roll dough into ball, dip in crushed candy canes.
Bake 10 minutes.
Notes
Food coloring is not required, your cookie will just not be as pink but it will taste just as good!After making these a few more times I found it worked better to only dip the top half of the ball of dough into the crushed peppermint, they were easier to remove from the baking sheet and not as much melted off the cookies.You can also use semi sweet or milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate if desired.
