Peppermint Crunch Cookies Recipe
Description
The Peppermint Crunch Cookies Recipe starts with a dough made from all-purpose flour, leavening agents, butter, sugar, egg, and peppermint extract or vanilla. After mixing, small balls of dough are baked until they develop a golden edge but remain tender inside. Post-baking, half of each cookie is dipped in melted white chocolate candy melts, providing a smooth, sweet contrast. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy canes, which add a bright, minty crunch and festive appeal. The cookies firm up quickly in the refrigerator, making them easy to handle and serve.
This cookie combines tender texture with crisp, cool peppermint pieces and creamy white chocolate, creating a layered flavor profile. They can be served during holiday parties or gifted as a seasonal homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
