Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream Butter & Sugars – In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
-
Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until combined. Stir in the melted white chocolate.
-

-
Form Cookies – Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls, roll them in granulated sugar, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake – Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.

Add Hershey’s Kiss – Immediately press a peppermint Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.

Cool – Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
For extra peppermint flavor, sprinkle crushed candy canes over the cookies before baking.
-
To keep the Hershey’s Kiss from melting too much, place cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes after adding the Kiss.
