Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract if using.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Top each cookie with extra white chocolate chips and candy cane pieces for a festive look.
  • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft.
  • Freeze dough or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
