Calories: 276kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Eggs large
- 2 ¼ cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Mix-Ins*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the peppermint chunks and the chocolate chips. Stir well.
- Drop balls of the dough on a cookie sheet. I just roll the balls with my hands. Other people prefer using a teaspoon or an ice cream scoop to get perfectly rounded dough.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Notes
*You can substitute the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Mix-Ins with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup peppermint bark chunks.
