Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup red and green holiday M&M’s
- 1/4 cup festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, M&M’s, and sprinkles.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
- These are perfect for cookie exchanges or Santa’s plate!
- Use peppermint chips or chopped candy canes for a festive twist.
