It’s almost the weekend folks, so I think it’s safe to say, we all deserve a cookie! Or maybe more than just one cookie, depending on how your week’s going. Lol!

I’ve seen lots of different versions of kitchen sink cookies over the years, so today, I’m adding my tasty little concoction to the mix.

Are you guys familiar with kitchen sink cookies?

What Are Kitchen Sink Cookies?

A kitchen sink cookie is a sweet and salty cookie made from staples from your pantry.

The most common ingredients are potato chips, pretzels, chocolate and sometimes nuts and caramel, that you’ll crush up and add to your cookie dough.

I spotted the mini M&M’s at my local market and knew I’d need to include them in these chewy cookies for some added chocolate flavor, a pop of color and even more crunch.

I also add some Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate bars, about six ounces total, that I break into medium to large pieces because you can never go wrong with extra chocolate.

Do I Need to Chill the Dough?

There’s no need to chill the dough for these cookies, so they take no time to make at all. About 10 minutes to make the dough and only 8-10 minutes to bake.

When the cookies come out of the oven and they’re still warm, I like to sprinkle them with a smidge of sea salt. Soooooo good!

Grab a tall glass of milk and get your bake on folks! Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Kitchen Sink Cookies

I use mini pretzels, as pictured, for this recipe, as well as ruffled chips. I roughly chop the pretzels before adding to the dough. And I leave the chips whole because as I fold them into the dough they break on their own.

As mentioned above, I like to sprinkle my warm cookies with sea salt, this is optional, but sooo delicious.
