Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Christmas M&M's (plus more for garnish)
  • 3/4 cup mini pretzels (plus more for garnish)
  • 3/4 cup potato chips (salted)
  • 2 Tablespoons sprinkles or jimmies
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet or white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper. I suggest using light colored baking sheet. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
  3. Gently fold in M&M's, crushed pretzels, potato chips, sprinkles, and optional chocolate chips. Don't overmix to avoid breaking down the mix-ins too much.
  4. Scoop about 3-ounce portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers looks slightly underbaked.
  5. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use a small spatula or the back of a spoon to gently nudge the edges into a perfect circle while they're still warm and pliable. Press a few extra M&M's, pretzel pieces, or potato chips into the tops for a decorative touch. I like to snap the mini pretzels in half and place two halves on each cookie and extra M&M's.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For these Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies, I didn't add white or semi-sweet chocolate chips but the cookies would be delicious with 1 cup of chocolate chips as well.
