How I Make White Chocolate Peppermint Snow Cookies
I start by heating the oven to 350°F and lining my baking trays with parchment for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, I cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy—this is key for pillowy cookies. Next, I beat in the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth and fragrant.
In a separate bowl, I whisk together the flour and baking powder. I gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until a soft dough forms. With a spatula, I fold in white chocolate and peppermint, making sure they’re evenly distributed for flavor in every bite.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, I portion dough onto trays, leaving some space between for gentle spreading. Baking takes 9 to 11 minutes—just until the edges turn golden and the centers remain soft. I cool the cookies on the pan for a minute, then transfer to wire racks. The hardest part is resisting the urge to eat them right away!
