Ingredients 

Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups (330 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 (2) large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) Christmas M&M candies
  • ½ cup (90 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (20 g) salted mini pretzel twists (roughly chopped)
  • ½ cup (45 g) salted ridged potato chips (roughly chopped)

Additional Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (50 g) Christmas M&M candies
  • ¼ cup (45 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (45 g) white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (15 g) salted mini pretzel twists (roughly chopped)
  • ¼ cup (20 g) salted ridged potato chips (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until the cookie dough forms. Fold in the M&Ms, semisweet and white chocolate chips, pretzels, and potato chips until they are well dispersed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) to portion the cookie dough and place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. If desired, press additional M&Ms, chocolate chips, pretzels, and potato chips into the cookie dough balls. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Place the chilled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking pans, allowing room for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 13 to 14 minutes until the cookies are golden-brown on the edges and slightly underbaked in the center. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
