Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter 226 grams, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • ½ cup brown sugar 107 grams
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 100 grams
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt 6 grams, divided
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 12 grams
  • cups all-purpose flour 270 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 grams
  • 1 large egg 50 grams, room temperature
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips 89 grams
  • ½ cup pretzels 20 grams
  • 1 cup Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits 156 grams

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter, sugars, 1 teaspoon salt, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat together for a few minutes.

  • Use a cookie portion scoop to scoop cookie dough into small balls.

  • Spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart place them on the prepared baking sheet. Depending on your pan size, you should be able to fit about 8-12 per pan.
  • Place in oven and bake for 16-20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking. Cookies are done when they are a light golden brown color and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • These continue to cook a little on the pan once you pull them out, so err on the side of caution. They should be a lighter cookie.

  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and enjoy!

Notes

  • Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits can be found in the baking aisle but, you could also use any type of toffee.
  • The pretzels I used are Snyder’s Itty Bitty Pretzels found at most major retailers, you could also use bigger pretzels and break them up in to pieces!
  • These are called Kitchen Sink Cookies because of the addition of the extra mix-ins. Feeling creative? Add in some of your own favorites: craisins, white chocolate chips, M&Ms, and even nuts would all be great in this cookie!
  • Use a cookie scoop to make the dough balls! That way, all cookies are the same size and will all cook evenly.
  • Speaking of cooking evenly, don't forget to turn that cookie sheet halfway!
  • If you're nervous about your cookies spreading while they bake, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes prior to popping them in the oven.
Storage: Store kitchen sink cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
