Step 2

Divide dough in half. Stir melted (cooled) chocolate and vanilla into one portion of dough; stir crushed candy canes and peppermint extract into remaining portion. Divide each dough portion in half. Wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of chocolate dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. On a large sheet of parchment paper, roll one portion of peppermint dough to a 12x8-inch rectangle. Invert the peppermint dough onto the chocolate dough; remove paper. Roll up dough, starting from a long side. Pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining dough portions. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 375°. Unwrap dough. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms of cookies just begin to brown. Let stand on cookie sheet 1 minute. Remove and cool on wire racks.
