Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

As soon as I get my hands on the first candy canes of the season I’m making these peppermint chocolate chip cookies! They’re super easy to whip up and take just 10 minutes to bake!

INGREDIENTS

🍪 1 cup butter, softened

🍪 1 cup dark brown sugar

🍪 1/2 cup granulated sugar

🍪 2 large eggs

🍪 2 tsp vanilla extract

🍪 2 2/3 cup all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

🍪 1 tsp baking soda

🍪 1 tsp salt

🍪 8 oz chocolate chips

🍪 1/2 cup finely crushed candy canes or mint candies

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.

2. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until combined.

3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

4. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed candy cane pieces.

5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough out and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They will flatten as they cook.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375°F or until lightly golden around the edges.
