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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
Beat in the egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
Step 6
Fold in the mint chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Peppermint Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk or hot cocoa!
