Looking to make these for your holiday festivities this year? Read on for our top suggestions & tips on making these holiday cookies: Can I customize them? Absolutely—that’s what these cookies are all about! We achieved our ideal sweet and salty combo with crushed potato chips, pretzels, chocolate chips and sprinkles, but the fun doesn’t stop there. Swap out the chocolate chips and sprinkles for some of your favorite candy, or even any you have on hand. M&M’s, crushed Oreos or dark chocolate chips would work great in these cookies, and peanut butter cups would add heaps to the sweet and salty factor. Not on board with the potato chips? We truly think the salty, crunchy factor is a game-changer, but you can also throw in roasted pecans or peanuts if you’d prefer! How do I store them? If you manage to have any leftovers, store them in a resealable container up to 1 week. Made these cookies? Let us know how it went in the comments below!
