Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup caramel bits
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, caramel bits, chopped nuts, and sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Don’t overbake—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky. Customize mix-ins to suit your taste or dietary needs.
