Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the crushed Oreos, peppermint candies, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra peppermint flavor, add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough.
Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a different twist.
These cookies freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
