Description
White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies – Festive & Delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- 1 cup Candy Canes, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with both the granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips (or chunks) and about three-quarters of the crushed candy canes.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for the best texture.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft.
- Press the remaining crushed candy canes onto the tops of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of crushed candy canes based on your preference.
