Ingredients

Scale

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup crushed pretzels
½ cup crushed potato chips
½ cup holiday M&M’s
½ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla; mix until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Fold in pretzels, potato chips, M&M’s, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cookies stay soft in the center when cooled on the sheet for 5 minutes.
Can customize with different mix-ins such as nuts or dried fruit.
