Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and creamy.
3. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract (if using), then mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
8. Scoop dough into small balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
9. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with extra white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes for decoration.
11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
13. Enjoy these festive cookies at holiday parties, cookie exchanges, or as a sweet seasonal treat!
Notes
Chill the dough before baking to keep the cookies from spreading too much and to achieve a thick, chewy texture.
Sprinkle extra white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes on top right after baking for a festive and visually appealing touch.
Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to four days and maintain their soft texture.
