Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
½ cup light brown sugar packed
½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1 cup unsalted butter until smooth. Add the ½ cup light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
Mix in the 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 2 teaspoon vanilla extract .
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2½ cups all-purpose flour , ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
Decide which mix-ins you would like to use. The total amount should equal about 1½ cups, but the exact ingredients and ratios are up to you. Gently crush the pretzels or potato chips or use the bits at the bottom of the bag. Fold your desired goodies into the dough.
Scoop about 3 Tablespoons using a large cookie scoop (or divide the dough into 12 equal portions.) Roll into balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Chill the balls of dough in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, but up to 2 days. (Cover with plastic wrap if chilling for longer than a couple of hours.)
Preheat the oven to 350℉ white the dough is chilling.
These are large cookies, so bake in two batches (on lined cookies sheets) if necessary. The total bake time is about 13-15 minutes. However, you may want to press some extra goodies into the top of the cookies after about 9 minutes. Don't overbake them, they are best with a chewy center.
Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Use whatever add-ins you have or like. Christmas candies, nuts, fruits etc. are all great alternatives to what is listed above.

If you prefer smaller cookies, you can make 24 cookies with a medium cookie scoop (1½ Tablespoons). Just bake them for 9-11 minutes.

You can make the balls of dough ahead of time and freeze them. To bake them from frozen, just add 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
