Step 1

Prep: Start by getting the oven preheating to 375°. Then, line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats. Set aside.

Step 2

Batter: Next, in a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter for about 2-3 minutes, using an electric mixer. Then, add in the egg, sour cream and pudding mix and continue to beat for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Proceed to incorporate the flour mixture into the wet pudding mixture and just until well combined. Then add the peppermint extract and mix again. After that, fold in the chocolate chips and crushed candy cane pieces.

Step 4

Bake: Proceed to drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Be sure to let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
