Description

Delightful cookies combining creamy white chocolate and crisp candy cane bits, perfect for the holidays.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this to your wet ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix!
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
  6. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.

These cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to a week or can be frozen for longer storage.
