Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges and soft in the center.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Optional: Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled cookies, then sprinkle additional crushed candy canes on top.
