Scoop the dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheet, placing each cookie 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until puffy and no longer wet-looking on top. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Finish baking the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Candy Cane Crush Technique 🍬Use a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag to crush candy canes evenly, preventing messy fragments and ensuring uniform peppermint distribution in your cookies.
- Pudding Mix Magic 🥣The instant vanilla pudding mix is the secret to ultra-soft, bakery-style cookies - it adds moisture and helps prevent a dry, crumbly texture.
- Chocolate Chip Balance 🍪Mix white and semisweet chocolate chips in a 60/40 ratio to create a complex flavor profile that balances sweetness and richness.
- Chill for Perfection 🧊Refrigerate cookie dough for 30-45 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, more aesthetically pleasing cookies.
- Peppermint Precision 💨Add peppermint extract gradually and taste-test to avoid overwhelming the cookie's delicate flavor balance - a little goes a long way.
