2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup candy canes, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease two cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients with the mixer on low speed until just combined. Stir
in the chocolate and candy canes with a wooden spoon.
Scoop by the heaping tablespoonful onto the cookie sheets. Bake until golden and chewy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
