Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 baking sheets
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup crushed peppermint candies optional, for festive touch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • 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.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies if using.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a chewy texture.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For a festive touch, you can sprinkle extra crushed peppermint on top of the cookies before baking.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
