Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream together 0.75 cups of unsalted butter, 0.75 cups of light brown sugar, and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of M&Ms, and a handful of sprinkles using a spatula.
  7. Drop generous portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are just set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
