Festive White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies
These cookies feature a soft, chewy base made with white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies, topped with a melted peppermint kiss for an extra touch of sweetness. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and makes approximately 24 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
- 24 peppermint kiss candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate and Peppermint: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies until evenly distributed.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Add Peppermint Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a peppermint kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
