# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 8 ounces unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
06 - 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
07 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins

10 - 1 cup red and green M&M's, plus extra for topping
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
12 - 1/2 cup pretzels, broken into small pieces, plus extra for topping
13 - 1/3 cup salted potato chips, crushed, plus extra for topping
14 - 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles (jimmies)

# How to Make It:

01 - Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, ensuring it is not warm before use.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter with the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
04 - Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined with no dry patches remaining.
05 - Stir in the M&M’s, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, crushed potato chips, and holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
06 - Using a 1 1/2 ounce ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing evenly.
07 - Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for 1 hour. For a faster option, place in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill.
08 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place six dough balls onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 13–15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
09 - Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately use a large cookie cutter to gently 'scoot' the cookies into a perfectly round shape. While still hot, press additional mix-ins onto each cookie for garnish.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Gently shaping the cookies with a large ring or cutter straight from the oven achieves a professional, bakery-style appearance.
