  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently stir in the dark and white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
  7. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden while centers are soft.
  9. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Melt white chocolate and drizzle it over each cookie, then sprinkle with extra crushed candy canes if desired.

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes prevents excessive spreading and ensures a chewy texture. Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
