- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- 3 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
- 100 grams light brown sugar about ½ cup, packed
- 1 stick butter unsalted, softened
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 4- ounce bar white chocolate roughly chopped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup peppermint candies crushed into pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
- Place sugars and butter in the base of a stand mixer and cream together for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides.
- Add egg and pure vanilla extract and mix until just combined (about 30 seconds).
- Pour dry ingredients in and mix again until combined. Scrape the sides and the bottom to ensure it is well mixed.
- Add in white chocolate bar and chips, along with peppermint candies and run the mixer to combine.
- Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop drop dough about 1 ½-2 inches apart and bake for about 9-10 minutes or until edges just start to turn light brown.
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Butter should be soft but not greasy for the ideal cookie texture.
- Use a rolling pin or mallet to crush your candies or candy canes into pieces, not peppermint dust.
- Remove cookies when edges are just set for soft, chewy centers.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring.
- Use a cookie scoop for consistent size and even baking.
