White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

These are the perfect treat to get you in the mood for the holidays! They look festive, too! I would also suggest dipping them in chocolate halfway for a little extra sweetness. 

HAPPY BAKING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2 cups all-purpose Gold Medal flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
2/3 cup crushed candy canes


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with olive or coconut oil spray.
2. Combine flours, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Cream butter, coconut oil and sugars together until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the white chocolate chips and candy canes.
4. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely.

ENJOY!
