Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup peppermint pieces

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Chop peppermint into small pieces until you have about 1/3 cup.
  • In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients - butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. 
  • Then add dry ingredients - flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Fold in white chocolate chips.
  • Roll dough into about 18 small ~1.5-2 inch balls, then dip dough balls onto the peppermint pieces to coat the top of the dough balls. Press peppermint pieces onto dough balls gently so that they stay on, then place them on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes. Check at the 10-minute mark. Once it is done (it will still be slightly soft), let cookies sit on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before carefully removing them and placing them onto a baking rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
