Kitchen Sink Cookies

Saturday, December 18, 2010

This recipe is called "Kitchen Sink" cookies as a play on using everything "plus the kitchen sink" in the batter. "Kitchen Cabinet" cookies would also be a fitting name. When I first made these cookies, I literally emptied out every chip, chunk, and tidbit out of my baking cabinet and added them to my cookie batter. I particularly enjoy the little chewy pockets that the marshmallows create, the crunch of the toffee, and decadence of the chocolate. Feel free to add any ingredient of your choosing, including the kitchen sink.

Kitchen Sink Cookies

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 C. dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 C. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. natural vanilla extract
2 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 C. peanut butter chips
1/2 C. toffee chips
1/2 C. mini-marshmallows
2 C. semisweet chocolate chunks or chips, or your favorite chocolate

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter until fluffy. Add dark brown and white sugar and mix until thoroughly blended with butter. Add eggs, l at a time, and mix until thoroughly blended. Add vanilla extract and mix at low speed to combine well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Add flour mixture to butter/sugar mixture and mix at low speed, until thoroughly blended. Mix briefly at medium speed until completely combined. Add peanut butter chips and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Add toffee ships and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Add mini-marshmallows and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Add chocolate chunks and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate batter for a few hours or overnight until cold. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 12 to 18 minutes. Cookies are done when they are golden brown around edges and soft (not bubbly) on top. Let cool on wire rack.
