Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (add ¼ cup flour if you live in a humid place like Houston)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup white chocolate chips, plus an optional ¼ cup for decorating
• ½ cup crushed candy cane, plus an optional handful for decorating (I place a few candy canes in a ziplock bag and hit them with a rolling pin)

Directions

• Using a stand mixer, or an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
• Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well-combined.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
• Add white chocolate chips and candy cane. Mix again until just combined.
• Cover the dough and refrigerate until very cold, preferably overnight. It can be refrigerated for several days.
• About an hour before you want to bake the cookies, pull the dough from the fridge and roll into balls about the size of a tablespoon. Pop the dough balls back into the fridge to make sure theyre nice and cold.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the dough balls onto 2 baking sheets lined with silicone baking mats. (You can use parchment paper if you dont have a silicone mat.)
• Bake just until the edges are set but the middle still looks slightly underdone. Time will depend on your oven, but they should take anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes.
• Optional: right after taking the cookies out of the oven, press a few chocolate chips and candy cane bits on top for decoration.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, until the cookies are set. Remove them to wire racks to finish cooling.
