How to Make Barb's Crowd Pleasing Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips, 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup salted peanuts (roughly chopped), and 1 cup pretzels (roughly chopped – pulse in a food processor until about the size of the chocolate chips).
- Drop by heaping tablespoons (about 2 inches apart) onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
- Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
