Bake the ultimate chewy Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies offer a perfect balance of cool peppermint flavor and melty chocolate chips, ideal for your holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chunks
  • 1/4 cup crushed candy canes (for mixing and topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks.
  7. Gently fold in half of the crushed candy canes.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden, but the centers remain soft.
  10. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the remaining crushed candy canes.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra festive look, you can add a simple peppermint glaze drizzle after the cookies cool.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm; this helps prevent spreading.
  • Use high-quality peppermint extract for the best flavor.
