Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  • Cream the Butter and Sugars. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Extracts. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in White Chocolate Chips and Peppermint Candies. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies.
  • Chill the Dough (Optional). For best results, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop Dough onto Baking Sheets. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
