Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (227g) Unsalted butter, slightly cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (200g) Light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) Granulated white sugar
  • 2 Large eggs, cold
  • 1 ½ tsp (7ml) Pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (5g) Baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) Sea salt
  • ½ cup (85g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) Red, pink, and white M&Ms
  • ½ cup (30g) Crushed salted pretzels
  • ¼ cup (15g) Crushed potato chips (ridged)
  • 2 tbsp (20g) Festive heart-shaped sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356F). Line two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the cubed butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high for 3 minutes until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Add the cold eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until only a few streaks of flour remain.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, M&Ms, crushed pretzels, crushed potato chips, and festive sprinkles by hand or on the lowest mixer setting.
  7. Using a large 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough and place 6-8 cookies per sheet to allow for slight spreading.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven when the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
