Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies
These Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies are thick, chewy, and packed with red and green M&M’s, chopped pretzels, chocolate chips, sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Using a large 3-tablespoon scoop gives them that bakery-style thickness while keeping all the mix-ins perfectly balanced. Underbake them slightly for the ultimate soft, gooey holiday cookie.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups salted butter melted, you can use unsalted if you prefer!
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp corn starch
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cup M&Ms
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup roughly chopped pretzels
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp sprinkles
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla. Mix on low until combined. While the mixer is on low add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the dry ingredients.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the M&Ms, chocolate chips, pretzels and sprinkles. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop 24 even dough balls. Cover with clear wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. ***If your dough is too soft to scoop, refrigerate for 30 minutes, scoop the dough and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes prior to baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Space 4 cookie dough balls about 2 inches a part and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are just set. Leave the rest of the cookie dough in the refrigerator until needed.
- These cookies will spread! As soon as the cookies come out of the oven use a round cookie cutter or glass to gently reshape the cookies into perfect circles. Place the cookie cutter over the cookie and gently scoot it around until the cookie melds into a circular shape. Optional: gently press in a few chocolate chips, M&Ms, pretzels and sprinkles into the top of the cookies. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before gently transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
