Description
All the holiday fun in one cookie—soft, chewy centers packed with festive M&Ms, white chocolate, pretzels, potato chips, and sprinkles for the ultimate sweet-and-salty bite.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ½ cup red & green M&Ms
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (high-quality recommended)
- ⅓ cup pretzel pieces
- ⅓ cup potato chip pieces
- 2 Tbsp red & green jimmies (sprinkles)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg yolks and vanilla for another 2 minutes until the mixture is pale and slightly increased in volume.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low just until no dry spots remain—do not overmix.
- Gently fold in M&Ms, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, potato chip pieces, and jimmies until evenly distributed.
- Scoop into 20 balls (about 1½ Tbsp each) and space 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Press a few extra M&Ms or pretzel bits on top if desired.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes: 10 for chewier centers, 12 for crisper edges. The edges should be set; centers will look slightly soft and finish setting as they cool.
- Optional: Scoot each cookie with a large round cookie cutter to perfect the circle. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack for 10 minutes.
Notes
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies or unbaked dough balls.
