Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Overmixing can affect texture.
  6. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies using a spatula.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges look set and centers stay soft.
  9. 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.
