  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed candy canes until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least two inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
