Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup nuts (optional)
- 1 cup pretzels (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, oats, and optional nuts and pretzels using a rubber spatula, distributing ingredients evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- To ensure your Kitchen Sink Cookies turn out perfectly every time, keep these pro tips in mind:
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra consistency, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you have time.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Watch the cookies carefully in the last few minutes of baking - they should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins like dried fruit, different types of chocolate, or even crushed candy.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp exterior and chewy interior.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and delicious for up to 5 days.
