These cookies are loaded with a delightful mix of sweet and salty ingredients like chocolate chips, M&Ms, pretzels, and marshmallows, creating a uniquely satisfying flavor profile in every bite. They are soft, chewy, and perfect for any occasion.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and instant pudding mix until the batter is smooth.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows, M&Ms, and crushed pretzels until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
