Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in peppermint extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
Divide the dough in half; fold chocolate chips into one half and crushed candy canes into the other.
Alternate small scoops of both doughs on prepared baking sheets. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl them together without fully blending.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Let cool on sheets for several minutes before transferring to wire racks.
