Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup red and green M&M’s
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini pretzels, broken
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
6. Fold in M&M’s, white chocolate chips, pretzels, potato chips, and sprinkles.
7. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions onto baking sheet. Optionally chill for 20-30 minutes.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers slightly soft.
9. Cool on tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Press extra toppings on top while warm.
Notes
Chilling the dough before baking keeps the cookies from spreading too much and enhances flavor.
Always press a few extra toppings on top of each cookie dough ball before baking for a picture-perfect finish.
If you prefer extra crispy cookies, add 1-2 more minutes to the baking time, but watch closely!
