Deliciously festive White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies perfect for the holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a bit underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
- For added flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
