Easy Kitchen Sink Cookies Recipe: A soft vanilla cookie dough base is used to make Kitchen Sink Cookies (also known as compost cookies). The base is then topped with chocolate chips, crispy Graham Cracker pieces, potato chips, salty pretzel pieces, and toffee bits—basically everything but the kitchen sink! Because they are just so damn amazing, these are a HUGE favorite and are frequently requested by my family and friends in real life!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Set oven temperature to 375°F. Using parchment paper, line two baking pans.
    Using an electric hand mixer or the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer until they are creamy and well blended, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Once more, whisk in the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that everything is well combined.
    Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. A few flour streaks are alright because the dough will continue to come together when the mix-ins are added.

  • Stir just until equally distributed after adding the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, crumbled pretzels, potato chips, graham cracker pieces, and toffee bits to the flour mixture.
  • Place dough balls onto the parchment paper-lined cookie sheets using a medium cookie scoop. To give them room to spread, space them apart by one to two inches.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges and golden brown. Before moving the cookies to a cooling rack, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes.

NOTES

  • Make Ahead: The cookie dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if covered with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. When you want to make cookies with it, simply let it come to room temperature, form it into balls, and bake, or shape the cookie dough into balls first before refrigerating and bake immediately when you are ready. You can also freeze the dough to bake much later. To do this, flash-freeze cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and store them in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 6 months. To bake from frozen, decrease the baking time to 325°F and increase the baking time to 16-18 minutes.

  • Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag, at room temperature for up to 7 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze baked cookies, once they have completely cooled, in a freezer-safe container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Put a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap between each layer of cookies to prevent them from sticking together.
