Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes evenly throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden; centers may appear underbaked but will firm up while cooling.
Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack.
