These triple chocolate peppermint cookies combine dark, milk, and white chocolate chunks with a refreshing peppermint punch for a festive, chewy, and soft holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
  • ½ cup (90 g) dark chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup (90 g) milk chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chunks
  • Optional: ¼ cup (30 g) crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Alternatively, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the peppermint extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding by hand until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dark, milk, and white chocolate chunks. If using, stir in the crushed candy canes last.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers still look soft.
  10. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough to prevent spreading and achieve thick, chewy cookies. Avoid over-creaming butter and sugars. Use room temperature eggs for smooth dough. Check oven temperature for best results. Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
