Kitchen Sink Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 3 cups crunchy/and or salt things such as pretzels, rice krispies, corn flakes, potato chips, whatever
- flaky sea salt
optional
- 1 cup dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets w/ parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugars to a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer!) and mix on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the mixer as needed, for 4 minutes. Yes, this is a long time, but it makes a difference!
- Turn it off and add the eggs and vanilla. Turn it back on until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Turn it off and add the flour and then baking soda and salt on top of the flour. Use your fingers to sift the baking soda and salt into the flour.
- Mix on low until just combined. Add the chocolate chips, 3 cups of crunchy salty things, and dried fruit. Turn the mixer on low for just a couple seconds to combine everything.
- Scoop heaping spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake on the middle rack for 8 minutes, take the pan out, grab it on either side (with potholders duh) and bang it firmly down onto the stovetop to flatten the cookies out a bit.
- Return to the oven to 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges have lightly browned but the tops are still very pale. This is important! The tops should look like they aren’t quite cooked yet. They’ll firm up and be DELISH and chewy once they cool, I promise!
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before eating! Especially if you put potato chips in there — they’ll be weird and chewy while hot but crisp up once they cool down!
