My husband doesn't like chocolate.  I know, it's pure craziness.  What is even crazier is that I knew this before I married him.  

A couple years ago I shared this delicious Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, and they are delicious!  I love peppermint and chocolate so it is a win of a cookie in my book.  

However, with my husband's dislike for chocolate, I wanted to make him a peppermint cookie this Holiday season that he could enjoy.  Therefore, the White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies were made, and they were a win for not only my husband but everyone.  They are yum!   

White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Recipe: Alohamora adapted from HereComestheSunBlog
Active Time: 25 minutes
Inactive Time: 25 minutes
Servings: about 3 dozen with medium cookie scoop

Ingredients: 
1 c. butter, softened (mostly melted for flat cookies)
1 c. sugar
1 small pkg (3.9 oz) vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c. flour, unbleached
1 tsp baking soda
1 c. white chocolate chips
1 pkg (10 oz) Andes Peppermint Baking Chips

Directions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat
  2. In a large bowl or a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 
  3. Add the dry pudding mix and mix until combined. 
  4. Add the eggs and the vanilla one at a time mix between each addition. 
  5. Add the flour and the baking soda and mix until just combined. 
  6. Finally, add the while chocolate chips and the peppermint baking chips and mix until just combined.
  7. Use a medium cookie scoop or a spoon to create dough balls approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons in size; place the dough on your prepared pans. 
  8. Bake the cookies at 325 degrees for 7-9 minutes.  Seven minutes was my magic number.  You don't want to overcook these soft cookies. 
  9. Enjoy!

Happy White Chocolate Peppermint Soft Cookies eating
