Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • ½ cup potato chips, lightly crushed
  • ½ cup M&M’s or other candy pieces
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Any other mix-ins you have on hand (e.g., toffee bits, sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in all your chosen mix-ins: chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, potato chips, and candy pieces. Use a spatula to distribute them evenly.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a festive look, press a few extra mix-ins onto the tops of the dough balls.
  8. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the chewiest cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • This is a customizable cookie recipe; feel free to substitute any mix-in you prefer. Use your favorite chocolate chip cookie variation as a base.
  • If you are making these for a holiday gathering, use festive colored M&M’s or sprinkles for a holiday baking look.
