Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Start by creaming the butter and sugars until light and fluffy—this takes about 2 minutes and creates the airy base for chewy cookies. Then add the egg and vanilla, and mix until fully incorporated. When you add the dry ingredients, mix just until no streaks remain; overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Fold in the white chocolate and crushed candy canes gently, then scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets. I like to press a few extra candy cane pieces on top of each dough ball before baking—it makes the cookies look festive and gives every bite a pop of mint. Bake until the edges are just golden, and remember they’ll continue to set as they cool.
