PEPPERMINT WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIE RECIPE TIPS
- You can use regular chocolate chips in place of white chocolate chips, or a mix of the two. You can also substitute M&M’s in this recipe.
- These cookies do spread quite a bit, so make sure to place them far apart on the cookie sheet.
- For thinner cookies don’t chill the dough. For thicker cookies chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you prefer less minty cookies, omit the peppermint extract.
What’s the best way to crush candy canes?
To crush the candy canes place them in a zip-top plastic bag and seal them. Crush with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.
Best Cookie Baking Tips
- Chill the dough (if the recipe calls for it). This allows the butter to firm and prevents the cookies from spreading.
- Use a silicon baking mat. A silicon mat prevents the cookies from spreading too much as well as promotes even browning.
- Don’t place cookie dough on hot cookie sheets. Allow the sheet to cool before putting another batch in the oven to cook. Or, invest in 2 or 3 cookie sheets so you’ll always have a cool one.
- Use the ‘scoop and level’ method to measure flour. Too much flour and your cookies will be too cakey, while with not enough flour they’ll be greasy and thin.
- Don’t over-mix the cookie dough. This will make tough cookies or cookies that rise and then deflate.
- Regularly calibrate your oven. An accurate oven temperature reading is a must when baking cookies.
Best Cookie Tools
- Silicone baking mats. I use this brand and my cookies slide right off without burning!
a cookie scoop – get this one. It makes the perfect rounded cookies every time! - Silicone spatula – try this set. It’s the best way to get the most out of your dough and batters
- Rolling pin guides – I use this one. Genius way to roll your dough out evenly!
