Make the best kitchen sink cookies recipe, packed with everything from chocolate chips to pretzels. This ultimate mix-in cookie recipe is easy to make and perfect for any gathering, especially as a festive holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels (for salty crunch)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s candies (or holiday M&M’s for variation)
  • 1 cup crispy cereal (like corn flakes or Rice Krispies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in all your mix-ins: semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, marshmallows, nuts, M&M’s, and crispy cereal. Mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a chewy kitchen sink cookie, slightly underbake them by about one minute.
  • To make Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies, substitute the regular M&M’s with red and green holiday M&M’s and use holiday sprinkles instead of some of the cereal.
  • If you want an epic chocolate chip cookie variation, increase the semi-sweet chips to 1.5 cups and omit the cereal.
  • This recipe works well as a one bowl kitchen sink cookies recipe if you mix the dry ingredients directly into the wet mixture after creaming the butter and sugars.
