Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and peppermint candy.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the dough and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving around one inch between each cookie for spreading.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to brown.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you don’t have crushed peppermint candy, put some candy canes in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Candy canes are much easier to crush than hard peppermint candies.
  • If your cookies spread too much during baking, try chilling the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before scooping and baking. 
  • Melted peppermint is tough to get off a cookie sheet, so use parchment paper.
  • While I love the combination of dark chocolate chips and peppermint candy, feel free to experiment with other mix-ins like white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even crushed Oreo cookies for a fun twist.
