Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional for a festive touch)

1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugars, mixing until just combined.

          Incorporate Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. If youre using crushed peppermint candies, you can gently fold these in as well.

            Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Create the Puddle: Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie ball using your thumb or the back of a spoonthis is where the fudge will go.

                Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underbaked; thats perfect!

                  Add the Fudge: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place a few extra chocolate chips or a mini chocolate fudge piece into the center of each indentation. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.

                    Dust with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust lightly with powdered sugar for a festive finishing touch.
