Day 11 of our 12 days of Christmas Cookies. Today we are sharing White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies.
Now I am not a fan of peppermint in my cookies or even with my chocolate. But, let me tell you that the mixture of white chocolate chips with peppermint candy bits mix together so well and really compliment one another. Its like Christmas cheering in your mouth!
How To Make White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, granulated and brown sugar, and salt. Stir and set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand alone one, cream butter & sugar in a mixer until smooth.
Then, slowly add in eggs and vanilla extract. Make sure you are scraping around the sides of the bowl and all is incorporated.
Next, with mixer on low, add in dry ingredients slowly, making sure flour and butter is fully mixed.
With mixer turned low, add in white chocolate and peppermint chips. Make sure mixture is mixed well.
*Note that this cookie dough does not need to chill before baking
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to get golden and top starts to rise and set. Do not overbake.
Remove from oven once baked and allow to cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
