Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate one large egg and vanilla extract into the mixture and beat until smooth.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually combine with the wet ingredients until just mixed.
  4. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candy canes using a spatula.
  5. Chill the dough covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes to 1 hour for thicker cookies.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Portion the chilled dough into small rounds and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake the cookies for 9–11 minutes until the edges are light golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is highly recommended for thicker and chewier cookies. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
