Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies
If there’s one recipe I can't wait to whip up every holiday season, it’s Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies. These cookies are the epitome of holiday cheer stuffed into every bite. Imagine warm cookies filled with a little bit of everything you love—from chocolate to crunchy nuts, toffee bits, pretzels, and even festive sprinkles!
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips
- Pretzel bits
- Toffee bits
- Festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the dry ingredients, including flour, baking soda, and salt, in a bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. This ensures your cookies have a consistent, rich texture.
- Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips, pretzel bits, toffee, and any other add-ins you love. This is where the creativity truly shines!
- Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each one about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly soft, which is perfect.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5–7 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later!
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother dough.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies dense instead of soft and chewy.
- Chill the Dough: For extra-thick cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add less sugar if you’re including sweet add-ins like toffee or butterscotch chips.
