Delicious white chocolate peppermint pretzel cookies with a festive crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pretzels
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter and both sugars together for about 1 minute, until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips, chopped pretzels, and crushed peppermint.
- Form the dough into balls using about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. For presentation, gently press extra white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, or peppermint pieces onto the tops.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
