Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup peppermint pieces (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Prepare Peppermint Pieces: Chop peppermint candies into small pieces until you have about 1/3 cup, which will be used to coat the dough balls.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a consistent dough.
  5. Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Shape Dough Balls: Roll the dough into approximately 18 small balls, each about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter.
  7. Coat with Peppermint: Dip the top of each dough ball into the chopped peppermint pieces. Press gently so the peppermint sticks to the dough.
  8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced adequately for spreading.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes. Check at the 10-minute mark; the cookies should be slightly soft when done.
  10. Cool: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes after baking to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely for about 10 minutes.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these delightful white chocolate peppermint cookies and enjoy the perfect combination of sweetness and minty freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth dough consistency.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should remain slightly soft for the best texture.
  • Press peppermint pieces gently to avoid breaking the dough balls.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and aid in even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
