How to make White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. In medium sized bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

In the large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and sugar until creamy. About 4 to 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl every 1 minute. You can either use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a handheld mixer too.

White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Add one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and peppermint extracts and mix well.

Keeping the mixer at the lowest speed, and slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated.

Scrape the dough off the paddle attachment and add the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes and mix well with a spatula.

The dough will be sticky. Drop about 1 rounded tablespoon of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Leave enough gap between the cookies for spreading.

Bake until edges just begin to turn golden, about 8 minutes.

Let your White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies cool on the sheet pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
