In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined

Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed candy canes

Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie
