Kitchen Sink Cookies

Recipe

Perhaps the most unique cookie recipes out there are the kitchen sink cookies, which might sound unappetising but is infact the opposite! Kitchen sink cookies gets its name from the idea that everything but the kitchen sink goes into the dough, from chocolate and butterscotch chips to pretzels, toffee bits, and salted nuts. It uses a simple brown butter cookie base, and this cookie recipe skips the usual chilling step, so the dough goes from mixing bowl to baking sheet in minutes, while still baking up thick, soft, and slightly chewy at the centre. What gives this chaotic circus of a unique cookie recipe its character is its balancing trapeze act of the sweet and salty add-ins, with different textures thrown in. Pretzels, potato chips, dark chocolate, or salted nuts work well to offset chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or mini marshmallows, so no two cookies from the same batch taste quite the same. A generous amount of add-ins goes into the dough, with a portion reserved to be pressed onto the tops of the dough balls before baking, for a more textured, bakery-style finish. If you want your kitchen sink cookies to turn out thick and chunky, so they can hold their add-ins, make sure to use softened butter that is still cool to the touch. Butter that has started to melt will cause the cookies to spread in the oven. You also need to shape the dough balls into taller mounds rather than wide discs helps them bake up thick. The trickiest part of this cookie recipe is knowing when to pull it from the oven. Do it when the cookies’ edges start to get golden, and the centre still looks slightly underdone.
