Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0 homemade Christmas crack
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 0 festive sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and continue to cook until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat until smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the homemade Christmas crack, chocolate chips, and festive sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve the cookies once they are completely cooled and enjoy your festive treat!
