Chocolate chip cookies are always a delicious classic, but these Festive Kitchen Sink Cookies are like their over-the-top, extra-fun cousin.
There's not much to more to want in a cookie when you have all these different flavors going on. If you are in a bind and can't get to baking multiple cookie recipes these Festive Kitchen Sink Cookies can wow and please the entire crowd. It's a solid chewy chocolate chip cookie adorned with caramel, m&ms, pretzels, and lots of chocolate chips. Overall, they are pretty quick to make. I do suggest allowing some time for this dough to chill before baking for the cookies to hold their shape.

📖 Recipe
Festive Kitchen Sink Cookie
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups AP flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup m&ms
- ½ cup crushed pretzels
Toppings
- m&ms
- soft caramels
- pretzels
- sea salt
Instructions
- If you don't have time to let your dough chill, preheat your oven from the start to 375 °F
- If you have time to chill your dough, skip the preheating step until you are closer to putting the cookies into the oven.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Put to the side.
- Cream the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla together in another mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, one at a time. Be sure to mix the egg with the butter mixture well before adding the next.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture. Once combined add in your chocolate chips, m&ms, and crushed pretzels pieces. Mix well to spread the different ingredients throughout the dough evenly.
- Put the mixing bowl, covered in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- After 15 minutes of your dough's chill time, preheat your oven to 375 °F
- Once the 30 minutes of chill time are up and your oven is preheated, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough to form each cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave space between the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes. Be sure to watch the cookies and remove them when they are golden brown.
- As soon as you remove your cookies from the oven add additional chocolate chips, m&ms, soft caramel, and some course sea salt on top before allowing the cookies to cool.
