Follow these easy steps to create delightful White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in Ingredients: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle additional crushed candy canes on top of the cookie dough balls for added decoration.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
