Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and patriotic candies.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra festive cookies, press a few candies on top of each dough ball before baking.
Chilling the dough helps cookies stay thick and chewy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
