Ingredients:
1 cup
Granulated Sugar1 large
Egg (beaten)1.5 cups
All-Purpose Flour1 tsp
Pumpkin Pie Spice1 tsp
Baking Powder1 tsp
Baking SodaDirections:
1
Prepare the dry ingredients
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
3
To a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar
4
Blend on high with the paddle attachment until the sugar granules are less visible and the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes
5
Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula, then add the egg and blend on low until combined, stopping to scrape the sides more to incorporate
6
In a separate bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and baking soda
7
Stir and toss with a spoon or fork
8
Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl and, while off, add half of the flour mixture
9
Turn on low and mix until combined; this should only take 5 to 6 rotations of the paddle
10
Stop and scrape the sides again, then add the other half of the flour and mix on low the same way
11
Turn off the mixer
12
Add the chopped chocolate chips and crushed candy canes
13
Turn the mixer back on low and blend until just combined; this should only take 3 to 4 rotations of the paddle
14
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper
15
Scoop dough balls the size of golf balls, 1 tablespoon each, and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheet, about 8 cookies per sheet
16
Bake until the edges are set and the center is cooked through, but still soft, 13 to 15 minutes
17
Cool the cookies for 2 to 3 minutes on the sheets
18
Then, holding the baking sheet over a wire cooling rack, remove the cookies from the sheet by gripping the baking sheet with one hand and the parchment paper on the opposite side with your other hand
19
Gently slide the parchment paper off the sheet with the cookies still on top, resting the parchment and cookies on the wire rack beneath until cool

This cookie removal/cooling trick takes coordination, so think about it before you do it and easy on the egg nog
