PEPPERMINT WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



PEPPERMINT WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Christmas     Mint

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup peppermint candy cane, crushed

Steps:

  • Mix the butter and sugars in a bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix in the chocolate and the peppermint candy cane. Place the dough onto a cookie sheet one table spoon at a time. Bake in a 350F preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin. This will help the cookies mix together more easily and will result in a more tender cookie.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and will prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip peppermint cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They're soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate and peppermint flavor. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
