For a more intense peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the dough. Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. Don't overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional crushed candy canes.
