04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
06 - Gently fold in semisweet chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, and white chocolate chips.
07 - Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow spreading.
08 - Top each cookie with snowflake sprinkles for a festive finish.

10 - Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, avoid overmixing once flour is added. Use room temperature butter for optimal creaming.
