White Chocolate Candy Cane Sugar Cookies Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe Soft sugar cookies dipped in white chocolate and peppermint bits. Haha, what a pitiful 12 Days of Christmas Cookies it’s been over here on Something Swanky this year! So far we’ve had… Amish Sugar Cookies And that’s pretty much it. But what a fabulous recipe that one, lonesome sugar cookie recipe was, if I do say so myself. And, let’s be honest, it’s not like there’s a real shortage of cookie recipes around here! In fact, how about a quick Best Of Christmas Cookies throwback? YES! If I had to pick the top 12 cookies on my site to recommend for your holiday cookie plates, I’d have to go with… Christmas Crack Grandma’s Monster Cookies (I’m making a big batch of these today!!) Thick and Chewy Snickerdoodles Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Bars Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies Red Velvet Hugs & Kisses Blossoms Classic Peanut Butter Cookies Classic Gingerbread Men Cookies Gingerbread Blossoms M&M Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies M&M Brownie Cookies Candy Cane Kiss Chocolate Crinkle Cookies And I could really go on and on and on still. I didn’t even get to any of my favorite chocolate chip cookies! But there are really too many to choose from in that category. You’ll just have to promise me you’ll browse those yourself later. Anyway. Sorry for being so lame this year and not getting 12 new recipes up. But this Christmas is all about survival! I think I’ve mentioned before that I seriously underestimated the energy it would take to move and settle in during the holidays. Can confess something? I’ve taken Lofthouse Sugar Cookies to nearly every Christmas function this year. And I don’t mean my copycat recipe. I mean the ones from Target. Yuuuuuuup. This year, that’s me. I feel like I need to carry a sign, “Yes, I’m the lady with the dessert blog. No, I didn’t make anything. Yes, those are my storebought cookies.” Next year, it’s going to be amazing. I pinky promise. And to tide you over, how about one more new cookie recipe? If you like peppermint and white chocolate and the softest sugar cookies on the planet, this recipe is for YOU.

Beat for about 1 minute until well mixed.Add the flour mixture gradually and mix until just combined.Stir in the white chocolate chips and half of the crushed candy canes.Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes over the tops of the cookies, gently pressing them in to adhere.Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Be careful not to over-bake the cookies as they can become too crispy. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool on the baking sheet.
