Kitchen Sink Cookies
Have you ever had Kitchen Sink Cookies? You know the old saying Everything Including the Kitchen Sink that means something has EVERYTHING? Yeah, let’s make that into COOKIES, Kitchen Sink Cookies.
These cookies are packed with two kinds of chocolate chips, toffee bits, crunched up pretzels, then topped with flaky sea salt and baked up ooey and gooey. They’ve got everything you need in a cookie.
These are inspired by the Panera Kitchen Sink Cookies, salt, sweet, crunchy, crispy, and gooey. Yeah, those cookies! I’ve been to Panera twice in my life and these are the ONLY thing I bought. TWICE in two days. Panera at the convention center in Philly I’m looking at you!
What Kind of Flaky Salt Do I need To Use for Kitchen Sink Cookie?
I used Big Flaky Salt for the tops of these cookies. It’s called Maldon Sea Salt and you only need just a couple of flakes for each cookie.
If you don’t have access to Maldon Sea Salt you can use Kosher Salt or even just Regular Sea Salt. Just go easy on ANY salt you add to the top of the cookie. Oversalting them will ruin them.
