- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (175 g) red and green M&Ms
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (40 g) crushed pretzels
- ½ cup (50 g) chopped pecans or walnuts
- ½ cup (45 g) shredded coconut
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Elevate oven temperature to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cookie performance.
- Butter Fusion: Cream softened butter with white and brown sugars until achieving a light, airy consistency that forms the cookie’s luxurious base.
- Liquid Integration: Whisk eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, creating a smooth, homogeneous blend that promises rich flavor depth.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Gently fold flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough emerges without overworking the mixture.
- Flavor Explosion: Delicately fold chocolate chips, pretzels, potato chips, and marshmallows throughout the dough, ensuring an even distribution of playful textures and unexpected taste sensations.
- Portioning and Baking: Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies generously to allow for natural spreading, then bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers set slightly.
- Cooling and Finishing: Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling, transforming them into the ultimate indulgent treat.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir dry ingredients gently to maintain a tender cookie texture, avoiding tough or dense results.
- Balance Mix-Ins: Evenly distribute chocolate chips, pretzels, potato chips, and marshmallows to ensure each cookie has a perfect blend of flavors and crunch.
- Control Baking Time: Watch cookies closely during the 10-12 minute baking window to achieve golden edges and soft centers, preventing overbaking and dryness.
- Storage Suggestion: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to preserve their crispy-chewy texture and maintain freshness for several days.
