Equipment
- 1 3-tablespoon cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ¼ cups holiday M&Ms
- 1 cup mini pretzels broken into small pieces
- ½ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips coarsely chopped
- ½ cup dehydrated marshmallow bits
- ¼ cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined and fluffy. Mix in the egg, additional yolk, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add the oats and stir together.
- Fold in the M&Ms, mallow bits, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and pretzels.
- Use a large 3-tablespoon cookie scoop. Use your hands to round out the dough balls, and add them to the baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Feel free to add a couple of extra toppings on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven to about 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and set and the top is soft. Let rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
