Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) brown sugar (light or dark)
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup crushed pretzels
½ cup red & green M&M’s
¼ cup toffee bits or chopped caramel candies
¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
¼ cup crushed potato chips or salted nuts (optional for salty crunch)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy (2–3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
5. Fold in all mix-ins: chocolate chips, pretzels, M&M’s, toffee bits, and optional extras.
6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto baking sheets. Chill for 30 minutes for best texture.
7. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can customize the mix-ins swap pretzels for nuts, or add cranberries for a fruity twist.
Chilling the dough prevents spreading and gives the cookies a chewy texture.
Perfect for holiday cookie boxes or edible gifts!
