Ingredients
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 4 candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar, then stir in the peppermint extract until well combined. Beat in the egg.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix to form a dough. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Crush the candy canes into fine pieces.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out balls of dough. Roll the dough into a smooth ball in your hands and then roll the balls of dough in the crushed candy canes.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Add any larger pieces of crushed candy cane to the top of the dough, if desired.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill the dough.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Do not overbake.
- Cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
- For less peppermint flavor, use less peppermint extract.
- To prevent any melted candy cane mess be sure to crush the candy canes into tiny, almost powder-like pieces. Any larger pieces, if used, should be placed at the very top of the cookie to make sure it doesn’t touch the cookie sheet while baking.

- To have perfectly round cookies, as in the photos, take a large rimmed round glass, cover a hot cookie with it and gently make circles with it, rounding out any uneven edges. Do this step directly after removing the cookies from the oven as it will not work once cookies have cooled.
