Kitchen Sink Cookies Recipe
Why are these cookies called Kitchen Sink Cookies? Because one of the things that I remember most fondly about my dad is how when he would order a pizza, he would say that he wanted everything but the kitchen sink. So, when I mix up a batch of these cookies, I liketo include anything and everything I can find. Up to 2 cups of mix-ins. I generally keep it at a cup and a half of mix-ins.
You can choose almost any cookie mix-in, but here are my favorites:
Chocolate Chips
Butterscotch Chips
Peanut Butter Chips
Chopped Nuts
Coconut
Raisins
Seeds
M&Ms
Reeses’ Pieces
Trail Mix
Here is the basic recipe:
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Up to 2 cups of Mix-Ins
Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. Add your mix-ins. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.
Let cool on the cookie sheet for at least 2 minutes before you transfer to a cookie sheet. Allow to cool completely before you enjoy. However, these are soooooo amazing, we generally devour a few as they are coming out of the oven.
