Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies into the dough.
Cover the dough and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly undercooked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
