Just about anything can go into a cookie. A cookie is like a blank canvas, and you as the baker, are the artist.
When all the cravings hit you, and you want something sweet and something salty, then these Kitchen Sink cookies are your answer. And what is fun about them is that you can make them however you want. You have the cookie base, then throw in whatever you want.
For my batch of Kitchen Sink cookies, I added:
Yes you read that right. I added potato chips. Don't knock it until you try it!
In your mixer, beat the softened butter, softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and sugar together until it lightens in color and looks fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add the flour and baking soda and mix until is just starts to combine.
You may notice that I don't add salt to my recipe. That's because I had pretzels and potato chips being added, and both have plenty of salt on them. If you aren't adding these to your cookies, you can add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Add all your mix ins and combine it together well.
Use a large cookie scoop (or you can weigh them out in 1.5-2 ounce portions), and line them on a sheet tray or plate. Put them in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
After they have chilled, roll them and place them on a sheet tray. Flatten them slightly, and bake them at 350 degrees F for 9-11 minutes. Let them cool.
You can add a drizzle of caramel or chocolate to the top of the cookie, and sprinkle with sea salt if you would like.
Enjoy!
Kitchen Sink Cookies have EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink in them!
