Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, light
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/2 cups Crushed Oreo Cookies (preferably Peppermint Oreos)
- Optional: Crushed Candy Canes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and 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. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until just combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies using a spatula.
- For best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Optionally, press extra chocolate chips or crushed Oreos on top.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top if desired.

Keywords: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture. Chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading and enhances flavor. Adjust the peppermint extract to your taste preference.
