Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&Ms, red and green
How To Make Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer and cream together.
Then add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well until you have a soft dough.
Add white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and M&Ms, and stir until they are evenly mixed through the dough.
Drop by the tablespoon onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Storage & Freezing Tips
Room Temperature: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Add a slice of bread to the container to help keep the cookies soft.
Freezing Dough: Scoop the dough into balls and freeze on a baking sheet. Once firm, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, just add a minute or two to the baking time.
Freezing Baked Cookies: Baked cookies freeze really well, too! Let the cookies cool completely, then freeze in layers in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
