25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 18 Peppermint White Chocolate Cookies

I love peppermint but especially at Christmas.  There are so many recipes that uses peppermint.  I hope you like this one.  

The white chocolate is a good balance to the peppermint.

The recipe called for crushed peppermints.  I found the peppermint white chocolate and thought it would be better.  I wasn't sure how the candy would freeze. If you have peppermint candy you want to crush go ahead and do so.

3/4 cup softened butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix well.

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 cups all purpose flour

Here's the peppermint chunks

1/2 cup peppermint pieces and 3/4 cups white chocolate chips

Scoop the dough.  It's ready for the freezer.  When ready to bake place in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for 12 minutes.  

You can fancy up the cookies with some melted white chocolate drizzled over the top.
