Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies
Description
This recipe produces nine large chocolate chip cookies with a holiday twist by including both dark and white chocolate chips alongside red and green sprinkles. The dough uses melted salted butter combined with brown and granulated sugars, beaten with egg and vanilla extract to develop flavor and texture. Dry ingredients with baking soda and salt are mixed in gently before folding in the chips and sprinkles, creating a soft dough.
Cookies are portioned into large balls and baked at 350°F for 11 minutes, then allowed to set on the baking sheet before eating. The slightly soft centers ensure a chewy texture, while the edges develop a gentle crispness. The mixture of chocolate types provides varied sweetness and richness within each bite.
The recipe notes emphasize the use of real butter and suggest making smaller cookies with adjusted baking time if desired. It advises preparing separate batches rather than doubling the dough for best results and provides storage guidelines to keep cookies fresh up to five days when tightly covered.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

- Stir in the dark and white chocolate chips and the sprinkles.
- Portion dough into 9 large balls of dough.

Notes
- The recipe yields 9 large bakery-style cookies; adjust baking time for smaller sizes.
