Ree made these cookies for Todd when she visited him at college. Just like his grandfather and father before him, he has a notorious sweet tooth, so these are the perfect snack for him.

Directions
For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, letting the first incorporate fully before adding the second.
With the mixer on low, add the flour in three increments, until just combined. Fold in the candy-coated chocolates, mini peanut butter cups, pretzels and cereal. With a half-cup scoop, scoop twelve large mounds, placing them on the prepared sheet pans a few inches apart in two rows of three. Refrigerate the scooped dough for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Leave on the sheet pans for 5 minutes to rest before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
For the icing and toppings: Beat the butter, powdered sugar and cocoa together in a bowl. Add the milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you have the desired consistency. The icing should be thick but spreadable.
Top each cookie with a heaping tablespoon of the icing and spread, leaving a small border empty around the edge. Immediately sprinkle the tops with the candy-coated chocolates, mini peanut butter cups, pretzels and cereal.
Eat immediately or let set, then store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
