Roughly chop the chocolate coating. Melt the fat and chocolate coating and let it cool down briefly. Stir in sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer and add eggs one after the other. Mix flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder and add. Put the candy canes in a freezer bag and crush them with a pan bottom or a cake roll. Add 1/3 of the candy canes to the dough and chill for about 30 minutes.
Line 2 trays with baking paper. Put 8 piles of dough on each tray with a tablespoon. Bake the trays one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes. After about 10 minutes, spread the remaining chopped candy canes on the cookies and bake until done. Let the cookies cool down on a cake rack
