Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract (optional)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Festive Sprinkles/Edible Glitter (optional)
- Crushed Peppermint Candies/Candy Canes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the optional peppermint extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and any optional crushed peppermint candies or candy canes.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. If using extra white chocolate chips, press a few onto the top of each dough ball.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
