Santa's Cookies Recipe
These aren’t just any old Christmas cookies! These are Santa’s Favorite Cookies! With a buttery brown sugar dough, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and M&Ms, you might want to sneak a few too.
Servings: 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Holiday (red/green) M&M's candy
- ¼ cup holiday (red/green) jimmies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars for about 2 minutes, until fully blended. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until well mixed.
- Add in flour, salt, and baking soda. Beat JUST until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, M&M's, and sprinkles.
- Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until outside of cookie is lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes on baking sheet. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
Notes
- Press some extra chocolate chips & M&M/s into the top of the cookies (I do about 7-8 chips).
- The number of cookies is determined by the size scoop you use. If you prefer these to be larger, use a 3 Tablespoon scoop and bake for 13-15 minutes. You will get about 24 large cookies.
- Store baked cookies in airtight container for up to one week.
- Freeze cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter overnight.
