Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla paste (or extract) into the mixture, mixing for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing on low until combined.
  5. Fold in the M&M's, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, potato chip pieces, and sprinkles (if using) evenly.
  6. Scoop the dough into approximately 20 balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, watching for the edges to be lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
