CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE: WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIE

Ingredients:

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
• 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low until combined and then beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Stop mixer and add the flour and white chocolate chips. Mix on low speed until a cohesive cookie dough forms, about 1 minute.
2. Use a medium size cookie scoop to form 24 cookie dough balls. Roll the dough ball in the crushed candy canes. Place the cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper (12 cookies per baking sheet).
3. Bake the cookies for 10 – 12 minutes. The cookies should look a bit underdone when you take them out of the oven as they will continue to bake once out of the oven.
4. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Remove them to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature. Enjoy!
