Chewy Kitchen Sink Cookies

Background: I’ve been experimenting and adjusting my chocolate chip cookie recipe for quite some time now and am very excited to share it with you.  This specific recipe is for my Kitchen Sink Cookies, but can easily be adjusted by taking out the toffee and pretzels for a classic chocolate chip cookie. Enjoy

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups butter, softened
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Heath Toffee Bits
  • 1 ½ cups pretzel bits
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter.  Add in vanilla and eggs, beat to combine.
  3. In another large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat to combine.  Stir in the chocolate chips, toffee and pretzels with a spoon.
  4. Drop dough by rounded spoonful on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. For best results, I recommend using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop.  I think that is key to making the perfect drop cookies.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just lightly golden brown.  Allow to cool for two minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

This recipe is easily adaptable and able to meet your celebration’s needs, like Carter’s Andes Mint Cookies.
