Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup white and blue holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.
6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and half of the sprinkles.
7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Press a few extra chocolate chips and the remaining sprinkles on top of each cookie dough ball.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for a smoother dough and better cookie texture.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes if your kitchen is warm or if the dough feels too soft.
Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking to make the cookies look prettier and more bakery-style.
