Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup crushed potato chips
  • 1/2 cup red and green M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup festive holiday sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with even baking.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, which takes about 2-3 minutes. This step helps incorporate air for softer cookies.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract to add flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  5. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overdeveloping the gluten which can make the cookies tough.
  6. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, crushed potato chips, red and green M&Ms, and festive holiday sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cookie texture tender.
  7. Scoop dough onto sheets: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set, indicating the cookies are properly baked.
  9. Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough after adding flour and mix-ins to keep cookies tender.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
  • Spacing dough portions about 2 inches apart allows cookies to spread evenly.
  • Let cookies cool on baking sheets initially to avoid breakage.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
