- 1 pouch sugar cookie mix (17.5 oz)
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup caramel bits
- 1 ½ cups lightly crushed potato chips
- 1 cup coarsely crushed mini pretzels
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg in a large bowl until a soft cookie dough forms.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, caramel bits, crushed potato chips, and pretzel pieces until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into approximately 2-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press each mound of dough down slightly.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Expert Tips
Use a spring-loaded #16 ice cream scoop to drop cookie dough. The cookies will be the same size and will bake evenly for the same amount of time. Freeze premeasured scoops of dough, making sure to flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness before freezing. Freeze dough up to 1 month. Bake as directed above, adding 2 to 3 minutes to bake time.
