Ingredients
- 17.5 oz package of chocolate chip cookie mix 1 package
- 4 oz salted butter 1 stick at room temperature
- 1 egg
- ½ cup pretzels any of your choice; crushed
- ½ cup potato chips any plain potato chip; crushed
- ½ cup peanut M&M’s any kind of M&M will work
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, or you can use a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, egg, and chocolate chip cookie mix using a mixer or by hand. Make sure the batter is well combined before adding any mix-ins. If mixing by hand, be aware that it may take a few minutes to fully incorporate the butter and eggs.
- Next, crush the potato chips and gently fold them into the cookie batter. Do the same with the pretzels, folding them in until evenly distributed.
- For the peanut M&M's, use a small cup with a flat bottom to break them into your desired size, then mix the pieces into the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet with the raw cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. Once chilled, bake them in the center of the oven for 12 to 16.
- When the edges of the cookies begin to brown, remove them from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to continue cooking. Then, use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Pop the cookie dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes - it'll help the cookies keep their shape and stop them from spreading too much when you bake them.
- Don't overmix - tough cookies are no fun! Just mix until everything's combined.
- Keep an eye on those cookies in the oven. The edges should turn golden brown, but the centers will be a bit soft - they'll finish cooking as they cool on the tray.
