Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and crushed candy canes gently using a spatula.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (aim for 12 cookies per sheet).
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Optional: melt white chocolate, drizzle over cooled cookies, and sprinkle with extra crushed candy canes.
