White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies with Sea Salt

These cookies are definitely scream “holiday cookie” with their cool peppermint crunch and sweet white chocolate taste but don’t let that stop you from making them even if it’s not the holidays (though candy canes might be hard to find – try using those round peppermint candies. The salt on top helps temper the cloying sweetness and the brown butter give them a nice deep caramelized undertone. My friend Steven stayed in our apartment over the holidays while we travelled back to visit AJ’s family and ended up eating pretty much all the leftover cookies, later emailing me “Oh dear God, those are good.” So there you have it.
