As with many recipes, you can easily mix up the ingredients just a bit if you like and make these White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies your own. For instance, crushed candy canes would be perfectly suitable in lieu of the peppermint candy and there’s no law on the books that states you must use white chocolate chips. IMHO (in my humble opinion, as I’ve learned that they say in the cooking hood), semi-sweet chips would work just as well. Because this original recipe from Hostess at Heart is perfect the way it is, we made no changes and obviously had delicious results.
Take a look at the short video below that shows just how easy these White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are made. We hope you give them a try this holiday season; Santa is sure to thank you too! -Dan
