WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES HOW TO

Try to stop as soon as it gets mixed, you don't want to over beat the dough. Increase the speed of the mixer to medium and slowly add the flour and beat until combined. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and slowly add the cocoa powder (otherwise it will dust all over). Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla extract. Beat the butter, brown sugar and white granulated sugar in the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed until light and fluffy - about 4 to 5 minutes.Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl.Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or with a silicone baking mat. I decided to mix half dipped cookies with drizzled cookies and sprinkle the crushed peppermint bits on top of the warm white chocolate. The decoration of the cookies is really up to you. And as a side note, even if you don’t get the recipe exactly right for pictures, most likely the taste will still be excellent! They are fun to make with children, family or friends or even to make as a take home item. These cookies are not only delicious, they are so festive and in tune with your Christmas table. So back to the cookies, I wanted a soft cookie with white chocolate and crispy peppermint candy on top and I didn’t want a cookie that was too crispy since I wanted to offset the crispiness of the bits with a smooth moist base. As an example, I don’t eat shrimp because I can’t stand its texture, I just can’t. Textures in food are really important to me and for most people, I would think. I wanted to dip the cookies in white chocolate and then add peppermint snow I got some time ago thinking I would use it for a Christmas recipe. Just by adjusting the ingredients – add baking powder to the mix and adjusting the amount of white and brown sugar, the third time they came out perfect. And that just goes to show you that even small changes in the ingredients for cookies can make a big difference in the texture at the outcome. First the cookies were too thick and in the second try they spread so much they looked like parmesan crisps. It sounds simple but it wasn’t – it took me three tries to achieve what I wanted.
