🍪 Winter Wonderland Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies
✨ Ingredients:
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp cinnamon (optional but magical)
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
½ cup white chocolate chips
-
½ cup holiday sprinkles or sparkling sugar (white, silver, gold, red/green – your winter vibe)
-
Optional: crushed peppermint, mini marshmallows, or chopped nuts
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven
To 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugars
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
4. Combine & fold in extras
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and about half the sprinkles.
5. Scoop and top
Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips and sprinkles onto the tops for a festive look.
6. Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are just golden and centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll set as they cool). For softer cookies, don’t overbake!
7. Cool & sparkle
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, sparkling sugar, or a light drizzle of white chocolate for extra wonderland vibes.
❄️ Optional Winter Twists:
-
🌿 Peppermint Wonder: Add ½ tsp peppermint extract and top with crushed candy canes.
-
☃️ Hot Cocoa Style: Fold in mini marshmallows and chopped chocolate chunks.
-
✨ Snowflake Edition: Use snowflake-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter.
🥶 Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Dough freezes beautifully — scoop into balls, freeze, and bake from frozen (just add 2 extra minutes).
