    One of the best holiday flavor combinations is white chocolate and peppermint! They pair together perfectly with these soft and chewy cookies. The cookie base isn't overly sweet and is complemented by the sweetness of the white chocolate and candy bits. These are so delicious yet fun and festive. White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies are quick and easy to make, making them perfect for a holiday cookie party or a special after school snack for the kids.

    Holiday parties are so fun, and bringing a delicious treat that people can enjoy is so satisfying. Pair these with Chai Cookies or Peppermint Frosted Brownies for an extra festive night. Or try it with our Original Fantasy Fudge recipe.

    Ingredients

    To make these cookies, you'll need:

    • butter
    • sugar
    • eggs
    • vanilla
    • flour
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • candy canes
    • white chocolate chips

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Make these like normal cookies: Preheat your oven to 350*F. Then start by creaming the butter and sugar together. Beat on high until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on high about 1 minute. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

    Crush the candy cane. Use a hard flat surface and the bottom of a glass to break up the candy cane. Use pieces of all sizes and don't worry if some it turns to dust, just mix it in.

    Add the candy cane bits and white chocolate chips and mix with a spatula until just combined.

    Place lumps of dough around 1.5 Tablespoons big on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes.

    Hint: Cookies are perfectly done when the tops turn matte and the edges just start to turn golden brown.

    Variations-

    Feel free to switch these up with different types of candy canes. Try spearmint and peppermint for a pop of flavor and a more festive look!

    Equipment

    Use a stand mixer or bowl with electric mixer.

    If using a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.

    Storage

    Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They won't go bad for much longer, but the texture just isn't the same after 3 days. Warm up in the microwave for 5-8 seconds for a more fresh taste.

    Freeze cookies in an airtight container. I like to put them in the freezer while they are still slightly warm. Upon thawing, this creates that soft chewy texture we all love!

      My family absolutely loved these. The cookie base was really good- it wasn't very sweet which was the perfect compliment to the sweetness of the white chocolate chips and candy cane pieces.
