WHAT OTHER ADDITIONS CAN I ADD?
So Kitchen Sink Cookies literally mean “everything but the kitchen sink” so there are so many different things you can add. Some option include:
- Dried Fruit
- Caramel Bits
- Peanut Butter Chips
- Butterscotch Chips
- Chopped Nuts
- Crunchy Cereal
There is so much that you can add to really make these how you like them, but we love having the sweet and salty the most.
DO I NEED TO CHILL THE DOUGH BEFORE BAKING?
Yes, this is one of those cookies that come out best when the dough is chilled. You will want to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
This makes this a great recipe to make ahead and bake right before you want them or your occasion that you are bringing them to.
WHY DO YOU TOP WITH MORE INGREDIENTS?
This is more for the presentation than anything, but it also adds more flavor to the cookies.
We love to do this with all our cookies, usually pressing in more chocolate chips, topping with salt, etc.
If you do not care about the presentation, you can skip this step.
HOW LARGE DO WE WANT THE COOKIE DOUGH BALLS?
These are not small cookies but they are not extra large as well. You are wanting to use about 2 Tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie.
You can get a large cookie dough scoop or just press together 2 Tablespoons of the dough.
