Kitchen Sink Christmas Cookies

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and pudding mix.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the dough, mixing on low until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate chunks, marshmallows, m&ms, and pretzels.

Step 6

Scoop or roll about 2 ½-3 tablespoons worth of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.  Press down to flatten the balls just slightly. If desired, press additional pretzels pieces, marshmallows, M&Ms, and chocolate chunks into the tops of the cookies.

Step 7

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re set at the edges and lightly browned on top.

Step 8

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
