• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup crushed candy canes (about 4-5 candy canes)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes, reserving a few pieces for topping.
5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Gently press a few extra candy cane pieces on top. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
