Make the best Kitchen Sink Cookies using this reliable recipe. Combine your favorite sweet and salty mix-ins for a chewy, crowd-pleasing treat perfect for any party or holiday gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • ½ cup sprinkles (for general use)
  • ½ cup holiday mix-ins (for Christmas variation: red/green candies, peppermint bits)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in all your chosen mix-ins: chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, crushed potato chips, and sprinkles or holiday mix-ins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the chewiest cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • To create the ‘absolute best’ sweet and salty balance, use a mix of salty chips and pretzels alongside your sweet candies.
  • If you want a flatter, crispier cookie, press the dough balls down slightly before baking.
  • For a Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookie, replace the standard sprinkles with red and green jimmies or crushed peppermint candies.
