# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dough Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
02 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-Ins

10 - 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
12 - 1/4 cup Christmas-themed sprinkles (red, green, white)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together thoroughly using a fork.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until incorporated. Add egg and blend well. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
05 - With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles until evenly distributed.
06 - Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring out 2-tablespoon portions by hand, form dough balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Yields approximately 16 cookies.
07 - Bake for 11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a subtler cinnamon flavor, reduce the cinnamon to 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon on your first batch.
02 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to prevent breakage during transfer.
