Servings 18 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 2 Tsp. of vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup White sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2.5 Cups of flour
  • 2.5 Tsp. baking powder
  • ½ Tsp. of Sea Salt
  • About 1 cup total of toppings: ¼ cup of toffee bits ¼ cup of crumbled pretzels, ¼ cup of dark chocolate morsels, and ¼ cup of M&Ms (could sub any of these for other candies or nuts)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and fluffy, add in eggs and continue to beat until combined.
  • Add in sifted flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients, and beat together until combined fully.
  • Fold in your desired toppings to the dough; leave a few of the toppings to add on top of the dough before baking.
  • Scoop out heaping tablespoon sized balls of the dough and roll into balls before dropping on the cookie sheet. Space the dough at least 2” apart on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, checking to see that the edges are firm but the center is still a bit soft.
  • Remove from oven and let them rest for ten minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Continue to bake in batches until all of the dough is used up. Serve warm alongside a cup of coffee with whipped cream and sprinkles.
