- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (454 grams)
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed (165 grams)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (85 grams)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (85 grams)
- ¾ cup Valentines M&Ms (pink, red, and white) (120 grams)
- ½ cup toffee bits (optional) (85 grams)
- ¼ cup Valentines sprinkles (40 grams)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup crushed pretzels (75 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven, ensuring the temperature reaches 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for the cookies.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and both white and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth, homogeneous base.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, pretzels, potato chips, and marshmallows, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy the unique blend of sweet and salty flavors in these indulgent kitchen sink cookies.
Notes
- Customize cookie mix by adding your favorite chocolate bars or candies for a personalized touch.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and more consistent cookie texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness and prevent them from drying out quickly.
