Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies

Kitchen Sink Cookies are made with marbled white chocolate and chocolate cookie doughs loaded with peanut butter cups, almonds, toffee, and white chocolate inspired by Ben & Jerry’s famous ice cream flavor.

Kitchen Sink Cookie: The Perfect Mix of Salt and Sweet

We took the deliciously salty, sweet, chocolate, and vanilla flavors and mirrored them from the ice cream into these homemade baked cookies! And yes, these cookies are also filled with peanut butter cups, toffee bits, white chocolate chunks, and chocolate-covered almonds – just like the ice cream!

To make them the best Kitchen Sink Cookies around, we took the extra step of splitting the dough in half. Making half chocolate and the other white chocolate flavored, the two kinds are then marbled together in the cookie scoop to bake up to perfection!

I loved these with some flakey sea salt sprinkled over the top of the dough right before baking for an extra sweet and salty flavor. But you can bake them without too!

Kitchen Sink Cookies Recipe Ingredients

• Salt

If you’re unable to find malted milk powder, then powdered milk or powdered coffee creamer can be used instead.

Though this ingredient isn’t necessary for the structure of the cookie, it does give it an unforgettable flavor that you don’t want to miss out on! I also use it in my Chunky Monkey Pudding Cookies, making them a big hit!

How To Make Kitchen Sink Cookies

1. Cream the salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together at medium-high speed. Stopping at least once to scrape the sides of the bowl down!

2. Add in the large eggs and additional large egg yolk one at a time. Mixing after each addition.

3. Pour in the vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for one minute.

4. Stir the all-purpose flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little to a time, mixing until combined. The dough will seem soft; this is normal – once the add-ins are added, it will have a stronger structure.

6. Divide the dough in half and transfer the halves into separate bowls, leaving one half in the mixing bowl.

7. Add in the chocolate-covered almonds and Heath bits of brickle toffee bits to the vanilla cookie dough. Then, remove this dough from the mixing bowl and transfer the second half of the dough into the mixing bowl to prepare it.

8. Add instant cocoa powder to the dough and mix until combined. Fold in the Reese’s Minis unwrapped and white chocolate to the chocolate dough.

9. Alternate adding small portions of each dough to a #16 cookie scoop, giving the scoop of cookie dough a marbled look.

10. Place the scoop of marbled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet—press semi-sweet chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.

11. Bake cookies until golden brown. Afterward, cool on the pan for a couple of minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

What Can Cause A Cookie To Spread Too Much?

These cookies can spread too much if the butter is too soft or even melted. To prevent this from happening, make sure your butter is only softened at room temperature and not melted!

If you go to make this recipe and see that the butter is too soft or melted, just pop it back in the fridge for a bit to firm it back up.

Another reason for cookies that spread too much is if the cookie dough was placed onto a hot cookie sheet that just came out of the oven. Be sure to use two cookie sheets or allow the cookie sheet to cool before baking another batch!

Storage Instructions For Kitchen Sink Cookies

For room temperature storage, keep the Kitchen Sink Cookies in an airtight container or Ziploc bag with the excess air squeezed out of it. Cookies will then be good for up to 4 days.

How To Freeze Homemade Cookies

For freezer storage, bake the cookies and then allow them to fully cool to room temperature. Afterward, transfer the cookies to the freezer in a single layer on a baking sheet.

This will flash freeze the cookies, which will prevent them from sticking together while they’re in frozen storage. Then, transfer the frozen cookies into a Ziploc bag freezer bag with the excess air squeezed out of it or an airtight container with parchment paper separating the layers.

Store the cookies in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw them at room temperature.
