White Chocolate Peppermint M&M Cookies

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Our lights are up, a few presents are wrapped and I have already watched ELF twice. I still have a lot of shopping and baking left to do though. This time of year is just so busy, it is hard to fit everything in. Thank god for online shopping! I am also busy finishing up my classes this semester so sometimes it is hard to find the time to bake. I am glad I decided to make these cookies this week because they were a hit around here. 

I told you to expect a lot of cookies this month- so let's talk about these White Chocolate Peppermint M&M cookies. They are such a fun and festive cookie for the holiday season. I found the White Chocolate M&Ms at Target, but I probably didn't need to tell you that. By now you know that I find all of my fun holiday candy at Target, right? My boyfriend never knew there were so many different types of M&Ms. Peppermint M&Ms, Candy Corn M&Ms, Cherry Cordial M&Ms, Coconut M&Ms- the list goes on and on. I know my boyfriend loves when I take him on hunts to find all of these different flavors.

Find a bag of the White Chocolate Peppermint M&Ms and bake up a batch of these cookies. They are soft and full of holiday flavor!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Continue to beat until fully incorporated.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Turn off the mixer. Add the white chocolate chips and white chocolate peppermint M&Ms. Mix with a spatula until combined.

With a medium sized ice cream scoop, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet.
