3 cups powdered sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 cup candy canes crushed (plus an additional 4 candy canes to be crushed and sprinkled on top of the cookies)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
Add the egg and egg whites to the dry ingredients, blending together slowly with a hand mixer.
Add the candy canes and mix into the batter by hand.
Using a 1" cookie scoop, dollop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Top with crushed candy canes.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the cookies have firmed up.
Let cool on a cooling rack, then enjoy with a glass of milk!

Check your candy canes and powdered sugar's ingredients lists to ensure both are made without gluten and in a factory where gluten is not present.
