Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates, reserving some for topping.
  • Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls. Place on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  • Optional: Chill dough balls for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Press extra candies on top of dough balls before baking.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
  • Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, don’t skip the chill time.
  • If you prefer softer cookies, underbake by 1 minute.
  • Substitute white chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
