Ingredients
Scale
Main Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pretzels, nuts, toffee bits, and coconut.
- Bake: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle tops with flaky sea salt if using. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Customize with whatever mix-ins you have on hand—M&M’s, dried fruit, or cereal all work well.
- Dough can be chilled for thicker cookies or frozen for later baking.
