Santa’s Pantry Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped peppermint chocolate
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped pretzels
• 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles

Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and creamy. On low speed, mix in egg and vanilla.
3. With a wooden spoon, slowly stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
4. Stir in white chocolate chips, peppermint chocolate, pretzels, and sprinkles. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least one hour.
5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Roll 2-tablespoon portions of chilled dough into balls. Place on lined baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Press down lightly on each ball to flatten slightly.
7. Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms start to brown. Allow cookies to cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes.
