Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with Peppermint recipe

4 servings

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup coarsely chopped soft peppermint candy

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, stir together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.

Stir in vanilla; then stir in eggs one at a time, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.

Gradually stir in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition.

Stir in the semi-sweet chips, then the bittersweet chips.

Mix in the peppermint candy, stirring until evenly distributed.

Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in a preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from oven; allow cookies to cool momentarily on the sheets before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.
