White Chocolate Peppermint Cookie with Vanilla Salt

These didn't look like much - they were darker than the website's photo and the peppermint pieces weren't as visible as I had hoped but I loved the unexpected hit of peppermint. I did decrease the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup and that was plenty. The peppermint flavor was there and the texture of these cookies were great the day they were made (chewy with crisp edges), but afterward they became very hard. In my second batch I cooked them barely 10 minutes and took them out while still very gooey (as the recipe states) and they were much better.
