  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Mix-ins

  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup pretzel pieces
  • 1/3 cup potato chip pieces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for two minutes.
  3. Add egg yolks and vanilla bean paste/extract to the mixture and mix until pale and fluffy.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in M&M’s, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, potato chip pieces, and sprinkles.
Baking
  1. Portion dough into 20 balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, 10 minutes for chewier centers or 12 minutes for crisper edges.
  3. Optionally swirl a large circular cookie cutter around each cookie right after removing from oven.
  4. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Freeze cookie dough for later baking by scooping onto a baking sheet, freezing until solid, then storing in a zip-top bag for up to three months.
