The combination of soft, chewy cookies with a revitalizing peppermint taste will surely please everyone during the holiday season.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Extracts: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla and peppermint extracts, blending until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Candy Canes: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed candy canes using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
7. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking, or lightly grease them with cooking spray.
8. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers appear soft but set.
10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Finally, once the cookies have cooled, enjoy your Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa!
