CANDY CANE COOKIES
I first fell in love with the candy cane and white chocolate combo with this Candy Cane Fudge. The flavors just are meant to be together. When I think of a holiday cookie this is it!
These are buttery, chewy, and full of flavor. The candy canes kind of melt when they bake.
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
King Arthur Flour says this: “At 3,500 feet, add 1 more tablespoon per recipe. For each additional 1,500 feet, add one more tablespoon.”
Since I’m at 5,000 ft I added 2 tablespoons of flour.

-
1

1
cup
white sugar -
1
cup

1
teaspoon

1/2

1
teaspoon

1

1
cup
white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside until later.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and peppermint and mix until combined.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
Stir in the white chocolate chips and candy cane.
Place balls of dough about 2 tablespoons big at least two inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies just start to turn golden brown. Cookies will look undercooked but will continue to bake on the pan. After they come out of the oven use a spatula or cookie cutter to shape them into circles by scooting the edges. I also add additional white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes on top. Let them cool on the pan until firm enough to move.
