Peppermint White Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

Servings: 18

• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp peppermint extract
• ¾ cup white chocolate chips
• ½ cup crushed peppermint candy canes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar using a mixer until creamy. Add an egg and peppermint extract. Beat again until combined.
4. Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in ½ cup of white chocolate chips and ¼ cup of the crushed peppermint candy canes.
6. Scoop 1 ½ tbsp portions of dough and form into cookies. Place them onto the baking sheet a couple inches apart. Press some of the remaining white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes onto the top of each cookie.
7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
8. Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.

Tips

• Add nuts, such as macademia nuts, to the cookies.
• For thicker cookies, place the dough into the refridgerator for one hour before baking.
