White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

Another day another cookie! We have really enjoyed sharing some of our favorite holiday treats with you all this month. And today, we are sharing our white chocolate candy cane cookies with you.  A sweet chocolate chip cookie with a touch of chewy candy cane. It’s a candy twist on a classic cookie.

To make a batch of these white chocolate candy cane cookies you will need the following –

1 1/4 C Flour
1/2 C Butter, unsalted, room temp
3/4 C White Chocolate Chips
1/2 C Crushed Candy Canes
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
Pinch of Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 Egg
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking flour, and salt. Whisk together to break up any clumps.

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together.

Next, beat in the egg to the sugar and butter mixture.

Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extract.

Add in the flour mixture 1 c at a time until combined.

Stir in the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.

Take a medium cookie scoop and scoop the cookie dough into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Gently press them down in the center.

Bake the cookies on the center rack for 6-8 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.

Tip – Try to make sure there are no chunks of candy cane on the edges of the cookie. The candy cane will melt and run if it’s on the edge.

Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Store in an airtight container for a week.
