How to Make Peppermint Cheesecake Cookies

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and mix until creamy.
• Beat in the large egg and peppermint extract until well combined.
• Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed candy canes gently into the cookie dough.
• Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
