Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1 cup (softened)
Brown Sugar
- 1 cup
Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup
Eggs
- 2 large
Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp
All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/4 cups
Baking Soda
- 1 tsp
Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet
Mix-Ins
- Nuts, dried fruits, or coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start your baking adventure by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the cookies bake evenly and perfectly.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This is crucial for a nice texture!
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined, which will help your cookies stay moist.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mix to your wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips and Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and any additional mix-ins you desire. Get creative here, it adds character to your cookies!
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Kitchen Sink Cookies!
Notes
- Allow your butter and eggs to reach room temperature for the best mixing results.
- Stir the dough until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
- Use parchment paper for seamless removal and easier cleanup.
- Keep a close eye on your cookies, as every oven varies slightly.
