White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies: Soft

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
2. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until a soft dough forms.
5. Use a spatula to fold in the white chocolate chips and peppermint chips until evenly distributed.
6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
7. Immediately press a few pieces of crushed candy cane into the top of each dough ball.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are barely golden and the centers look slightly soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
