Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ¾ cups butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 TBS milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup crushed peppermints
Instructions
- To kill any bacteria in the flour, heat treat the flour before using in this recipe. To do this, preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread flour on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches 160 degrees.
- Once flour reaches the desired temperature, remove from oven to a cooling rack and mix in the salt.
- Once the flour is cooled, cream together the butter and sugar until light a fluffy, then add the powdered sugar a little at a time until it is all well mixed.
- Next add the milk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and mix well.
- Now slowly add the cooled flour while the mixer is running, continuing to add a little at a time until it’s fully mixed.
- Finally, fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint until they’re distributed throughout the edible cookie dough.

Notes
- Add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract if you want a stronger flavor. Start with 1/4 tsp then add more as you need, just remember the flavor will get stronger as mixed.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days. This tastes great chilled or at room temperature.
