During the Christmas season, comes baking – lots and lots of baking. Who loves to bake during the holidays? What are some of your favorite desserts to bake? I love baking cookies, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin cheesecake.
I found a peppermint sugar cookie recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked really good. I made a few changes to the recipe to bake the cookies to my liking. Instead of melting the white chocolate chips and drizzling on top, I placed the chips inside with the peppermint chunks.
These peppermint white chocolate chip sugar cookies were a big hit with my kids. They loved them. This recipe will definitely be added to my list cookies to bake during the holidays.
Below is my recipe for the peppermint white chocolate chip sugar cookies.
