Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-Ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup red, green and white holiday sprinkles

Optional

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Set your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture turns light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. This step helps to incorporate air for a soft cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to maintain emulsion and then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to combine evenly.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined to avoid overworking the dough which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in both semi-sweet and white chocolate chips so they are dispersed evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop Dough: Using about 2 tablespoons per cookie, scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets with spacing between each to allow for spreading.
  8. Decorate: Press a few extra chocolate chips and the holiday sprinkles onto the top of each dough ball to enhance the festive appearance.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges look set but the centers remain slightly underbaked, which keeps them soft and chewy.
  10. Cool on Baking Sheet: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set further.
  11. Transfer and Optional Dusting: Move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar to evoke a snowy, festive look.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour to maintain tender cookies.
  • Softer centers mean the cookies will continue to cook slightly as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • For extra holiday flair, substitute or add colored sprinkles according to your preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • If desired, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can improve texture and flavor intensity.
