White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

One of the most Christmas-y cookies you can make!

I saw these in an online group and decided we had to give them a try. We are making round 2 of them this weekend because they are so yummy.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light & fluffy

3. While the mixer is running, add the egg and then vanilla & peppermint extracts

4. Slowly add the flour mixture and scrape the bowl down.

5. Add the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes and mix until just incorporated

6. Place the cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet (Don't skip the paper. I like the pre-cut ones) using and ice cream scoop if you have one. About a 2 tbsp sized portion for each cookie

7. Dip the top of each ball of cookie dough into a bowl filled with crushed candy canes

8. Chill on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator. Bake at 350° for about 6 minutes (watch them, you do not want them to brown).

9. Allow to cool on cookie sheet then transfer to wire rack or a plate.
