Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups holiday chocolate chips (mix of red, green, and white)
- ½ cup Christmas-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the holiday chocolate chips and sprinkles (if using).
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra holiday touch, try adding a handful of crushed candy canes to the dough.
- If you prefer your cookies thinner and crispier, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week or frozen for up to 3 months.
