Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup peppermint candy canes crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in the white chocolate chips and ½ cup of the crushed peppermint candy. Save the remaining ¼ cup for later.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave enough room between each cookie. These cookies will spread quite a bit so don't put them too close together!
  • Sprinkle the remaining crushed peppermint candy on the cookie dough balls then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.
