Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup broken pretzels
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional Holiday Mix-ins: ½ cup M&Ms, ½ cup white chocolate chips, ½ cup crushed potato chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This is a key step for texture.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, toffee bits, pretzels, and nuts. If using, fold in the optional holiday mix-ins now.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls slightly flatter.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best chewy texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute any nuts or chips you prefer; this recipe is meant to be customized.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chips or pretzel pieces onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a better appearance.
