Ingredients

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

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Overmixing can affect texture.
Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies using a spatula.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges look set and centers stay soft.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much.

Crush peppermint candies finely to avoid sharp bites.

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and uneven browning.
