Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (90g) assorted nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds), chopped
  • 3/4 cup (130g) holiday candies (M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, or similar)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Start by whisking together softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. This step is essential for building that rich cookie base with perfect moisture.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. This adds flavor and helps bind all the delicious ingredients together into a smooth dough.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Make sure these dry ingredients are well combined to evenly distribute the leavening agents and texture enhancers.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing here to keep the cookies tender instead of tough.
  5. Fold in Mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, and holiday candies. These “kitchen sink” additions are what make each cookie a bite full of festive surprises.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop to portion dough evenly onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes prior to baking to deepen flavors and prevent spread.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and help cookies bake evenly.
  • Remove cookies when centers still look slightly underdone to achieve a perfect chewy texture.
  • Maintain a good balance of mix-ins to keep the dough sturdy and prevent overload.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture and softness.
