Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/3 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 1/3 cups (226g) white chocolate chips, plus more for tops if desired
  • 1/2 cup (heaping, 103g) crushed peppermint candy canes (about 8 standard size)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  4. Add the egg and egg yolk, then mix in vanilla and peppermint extracts. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
  7. Scoop the dough (about 1.5 heaping Tbsp per cookie), shape into balls, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  8. Chill the dough balls for 20 minutes.
  9. Place 12 cookies per sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–14 minutes until puffed and slightly underbaked in the center.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. Optionally, press a few extra white chocolate chips into the tops while cookies are warm.
