HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP PEPPERMINT COOKIES:
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or standing mixer and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Then add the eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and one cup of flour. Mix until the dry ingredients and wet ingredients are mixed together completely.
- Add in the remaining second cup of flour and mix on medium speed, until the cookie dough is thick and creamy.
- Once the dough is mixed, hand stir in the white chocolate chips and chopped peppermints until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to shape the dough into balls. Then place the dough balls into the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Leave about an inch in between each cookie so they can evenly spread.
- Air Fry at 330 degrees F for 5-7 minutes until edges of cookie are crispy, and bottoms are not longer doughy.
- Let cookies sit in the air fryer basket for an additional 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue to cool.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
FAQ’s
Making extra cookie dough to freeze is a great idea! All you need to do is let the dough thaw out and you are ready to air fry. Just place raw dough into a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months in your freezer. Add peppermint to dough just before air frying as it can melt into the dough if cold.
A cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows, freshly made coffee or peppermint tea will all be delicious with this cookie. They are perfect served on a platter with air fryer pumpkin spice pecans, savory Chex mix or air fryer chocolate croissants.
Allow cookies to fully cool prior to storing them. Place the cookies in a closed container or resealable storage bag on your counter at room temperature for 4-5 days. If you are planning on freezing any leftover cookies place them in an airtight container or freezer storage bag for up to 3 months.
If you do not have peppermint candies, you can use peppermint extract instead. Because extracts have a more concentrated flavor, a little goes a long way.
