Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cupunsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cupgranulated sugar
• 3/4 cuppacked brown sugar
• 2large eggs
• 1 teaspoonvanilla extract
• 2 cupsall-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoonbaking soda
• 1/2 teaspoonsalt
• 1 cupoats
• 1/2 cupmini M&Ms (preferably red and green for a festive feel)
• 1/2 cupsemisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cupwhite chocolate chips
• 1/4 cuppretzels, broken into pieces
• 1/4 cupchopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or a mix)
• 1/4 cuptoffee bits
• 1/4 cupshredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial, as it ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, cream the mixture together until it becomes light and fluffy. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Next, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring you mix well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract for that warm, aromatic flavor.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your butter and sugar mixture, blending until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the oats, mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, broken pretzels, nuts, toffee bits, and shredded coconut (if you choose to use it).
6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and place them on your prepared baking sheet, ensuring to leave about 2 inches of space between each scoop. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. After baking, let your cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.
