- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallows, M&Ms, toffee bits, and dried fruits.
- Scoop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden, but centers remain soft.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve once completely cooled or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
