Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ruffled potato chips (crushed)
- 1 cup mini pretzels (crushed)
- 1 cup chocolate candies (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not over-mix.
Gently fold in the crushed potato chips, crushed pretzels, chocolate candies, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and set. The centers may still look slightly soft; they'll firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days—if they last that long!
