Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups M&Ms candy
- 1/4 cup Christmas-themed candy sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In large bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and sugar for 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Beat until just combined.
- Add 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the M&Ms. Stir into the cookie batter using a wooden spoon.
- Spread the cookie dough as evenly as possible onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Don't get too worried about the dough being even. It will expand and fill in the gaps during the baking process.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle over the remaining chocolate chips and M&Ms, along with the candy sprinkles. Return to over and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from oven. Allow to cool, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Carefully slide the giant cookie off of the sheet pan and onto a cooling rack to continue cooling.
- Once completely cooled, slice into large bars.
