Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mint chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
Fold in the mint chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peppermint Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk or hot cocoa!
