Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) crushed pretzels
  • 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Make the cookie dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

3. Add the mix-ins

  1. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, crushed pretzels, sprinkles, and pecans (if using).

4. Shape the cookies

  1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls.
  2. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

5. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve

  • Enjoy these cookies warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or hot cocoa.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Customization: Swap out the mix-ins for your favorites—think mini marshmallows, toffee bits, or crushed candy canes for extra holiday flair.
  • Make-Ahead: Chill the dough for up to 2 days before baking for even chewier cookies.
