Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add egg yolks and vanilla; mix for another 2 minutes, until pale and creamy.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
Fold in M&Ms, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, potato chips, and sprinkles.
Scoop dough into 20 balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Optional: Press a few extra mix-ins on top for picture-perfect cookies.
Bake for 10–12 minutes (10 for chewy, 12 for crisp edges).
Optional: Shape hot cookies with a round cookie cutter for perfect circles.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then on a rack for 10 minutes.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Kettle-cooked chips give extra crunch without getting soggy.

To freeze: scoop dough balls, freeze on a sheet pan, then store in a bag. Bake from frozen +1–2 minutes.

Add any extra holiday mix-ins you love — crushed candy canes, mini marshmallows, or caramel bits work great.
