Peppermint Chocolate Puffs


This is a Christmas favorite, especially with Uncle Bill!


3/4 cup butter

1 egg, separated
2 cups sifted flour
Chocolate chips

3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup crushed candy cane (about 6 large canes)

Cream butter and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Stir in egg yolk and vanilla. Add flour, 1/4 cup at at time. Stir in candy. Roll into 1-inch balls. Beat egg white slightly. Dip balls in egg white, then roll in remaining sugar. Put chocolate chip on top of ball and slightly flatten ball. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350° for 15 min. Remove from pan immediately to a wire rack.
