Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Christmas M&M’s
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup broken pretzel pieces
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until flour disappears.
- Using a sturdy spoon, fold in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, M&M’s, marshmallows, broken pretzels, and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes to 2 hours (optional).
- Scoop dough using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Press a few extra M&M’s and chocolate chips on top of each dough ball. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers still look slightly underdone.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Butter temperature matters: Make sure butter is softened to room temperature, not melted. Don’t overbake: Pull cookies out when centers still look soft, they continue cooking on the hot pan. Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Make ahead: Dough can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours or frozen for up to 3 months. Customization: Feel free to swap mix-ins based on preference or what you have available.
