Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Mix in vanilla, peppermint extracts, and egg until smooth.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Add dry mixture to wet ingredients and mix until combined well. Stir in white chocolate chips and peppermint candy.
Take around 2 Tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies just start to turn golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet - they will continue to bake as they cool. Top with additional white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes as they cool. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
HOW TO KEEP COOKIES SOFT
I always make sure that my cookies are in an airtight container and I add a slice of bread to the container. This keeps cookies soft!
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
King Arthur Flour says this: “At 3,500 feet, add 1 more tablespoon per recipe. For each additional 1,500 feet, add one more tablespoon.”Since I’m at 5,000 ft I added 2 tablespoons of flour.
