Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked; they will set as they cool.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
