1 cup regular sugar
03 -
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Mix-Ins
10 -
1 cup white chocolate chips
11 -
1 cup roughly broken candy canes
# How to Make It:
01 -
Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C) and put parchment paper or silicone mats on your cookie sheets.
02 -
Beat the room temperature butter with both regular and brown sugars in a big bowl until it looks pale and fluffy, this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
03 -
Drop in eggs one by one, making sure each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract till everything's well combined.
04 -
Mix the plain flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Slowly add this dry mix into your butter mixture, stirring just enough to combine.
05 -
Gently stir in your white chocolate chips and smashed candy canes so they're spread evenly through the cookie dough.
06 -
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared sheets, leaving 2 inches between each. Pop them in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until they're golden around the edges with centers that are barely set.
07 -
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for a bit, then move them to wire racks to finish cooling completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Don't crush your candy canes too small or they'll just melt away in the dough. Keeping some bigger chunks gives you better texture in every bite.
