Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup candy-covered chocolates (M&Ms)
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking Sheet
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies bake evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, candy-covered chocolates, peanut butter chips, and chopped walnuts.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze cookie dough by scooping onto a baking sheet and freezing until solid.
  • Reheat cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that just-baked warmth.
