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 medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, ensuring a thick dough.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, M&Ms, and sprinkles gently with a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-13 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
