Ingredients
- 18 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract or use vanilla bean paste
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup Christmas-colored m&ms
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped miniature pretzels
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted and cooled
- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, 7 to 10 minutes or until butter turns a deep golden brown along the bottom of the saucepan and smells nutty.
- Immediately transfer butter to a clean bowl; cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, beating to combine.
- In a separate bowl whisk flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture, and pulse until only a few streaks of flour remain (do not overmix).
- Add m&ms, pretzels, pecans, marshmallows, and chocolate chips, and pulse until just combined.
- Scoop cookies into uniform sizes, and place on prepared pans. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
- Remove from oven; sprinkle with sea salt, and let cool on pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
