Calories: 118kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine the butter and sugars and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Beat to combine. Add the white chocolate chips and crushed candy and beat again to mix throughout.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of dough (12 per baking sheet) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roll into balls with your hands.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes JUST until the edges have very lightly browned. The centers should still look soft with a few cracks on top. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (This cooling rack sees regular use in my kitchen.)
- Store tightly covered on the counter for 2-3 days or freeze in an airtight container for several weeks.
