In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candy.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Choose high-quality chocolate chips and pure peppermint extract for an authentic and rich flavor profile.
Incorporate crushed candy canes into the dough for that signature peppermint crunch. It adds a festive flair and a delightful texture.
Allow the cookie dough to chill before baking. This not only enhances the flavors but also prevents the cookies from spreading too thin in the oven.
