Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup nuts (optional, e.g. walnuts, pecans, almonds)
  • 1 cup dried fruit (optional, e.g. raisins, cranberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure an easy release after baking.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial as it adds air to your cookies, making them soft and chewy.
  3. Add the Eggs: Add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. This will help the mixture stay emulsified and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into your wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want to keep those tender cookies.
  5. Fold in the Goodies: Now comes the fun part! Gently fold in chocolate chips, oats, and any other add-ins like nuts or dried fruit. The beauty of Kitchen Sink Cookies is the personalized touch you can add.
  6. Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your lined baking sheets, leaving some space in between each for spreading. Bake in your preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden while the centers remain slightly soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps them set nicely and makes them even more delicious.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for an hour in the fridge to enhance the flavor and texture.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for that decadent melt.
  • Do not overbake; take them out when they are just barely golden.
  • Experiment with various mix-ins to keep things interesting.
  • Ensure consistent cookie size for even baking.
