# Ingredients:

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
02 - 1 cup of butter, softened.
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt.
04 - 6 tablespoons crushed candy canes.
05 - 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar.
06 - 1 teaspoon peppermint extract.
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda.

10 - 1 1/4 cups of white chocolate chips.
11 - 2 3/4 cups of regular all-purpose flour.
12 - 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of white sugar.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F and line your baking trays with parchment. Stir together all the dry stuff in one bowl.
02 - Whip the butter with the sugars till it's really fluffy. Add the egg and both extracts, then combine with the dry mix.
03 - Gently mix the candy chunks and white chocolate into the dough so they're spread out everywhere.
04 - Scoop dough into balls using about 1½ tablespoons for each. Bake for 7-9 minutes until the edges are just slightly golden.
05 - Let the cookies sit on the trays for 4-5 minutes, then move them to a rack to completely cool.

# Notes:

01 - Be sure not to leave them in the oven for too long.
02 - Will last about 4-5 days if stored at room temperature.
03 - Can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months.
