- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the crushed peppermint candies and white chocolate chips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Dip the bottom half of each cookie into the melted chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then place the cookies on a wire rack to set.
