Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ¼-½** cup all purpose flour **see the note for desired texture
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup mini holiday m&ms **or any holiday m&ms
- ⅓ cup mini pretzels crushed
- ⅓ cup potato chips crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large glass mixing bowl, add the butter and cover with a paper towel. Melt it in 30 second intervals or until it’s completely melted (no chunks are left).
- Pour in the brown sugar and white sugar and whisk it together.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all of the wet ingredients are combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients (not the mix-ins yet!): all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together (again, scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed). Note: if the batter is too soft or the butter isn't whisked enough, you may need to add another 2 tbsp - ¼ cup of flour. Mixed batter should resemble this texture.
- Add all of the mix-ins to the bowl and fold together.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Use a 2 inch cookie scoop to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets. Gently press down so they’re a thick disk cookie instead of a round ball. Press extra chocolate chips and crushed pretzels into the top of the scooped cookie dough balls (this helps create a more visually festive cookie).
- Place 6-8 cookies on each baking sheet. They will expand during baking so try to leave at least 2” around each one.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes. They will be slightly brown on the edges and look slightly doughy in the center. Use a larger bowl than the cookie method to ‘shake’ the cookie back into a circle shape if they’ve expanded too much while baking.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the pan before removing them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm with flakey sea salt or allow to cool. Both are DIVINE!
Notes

- Do NOT use a electric mixer or stand mixer for this recipe. A rubber spatula/whisk is perfect.
- Be creative! Make these for Valentine's Day with pink/red colored m&ms. Halloween, Easter, and the 4th of July all have seasonal m&m colors too.
- These can be stored in an airtight container either on the counter or the refrigerator if you like a chewy, chilled cookie. In your storage container, add a piece of bread (I like to use the end piece of a loaf). The cookies will draw out the moisture from the bread and keep your cookies soft.
