Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt, can cut down to a 1/2 tsp. if preferred
2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely broken ruffles potato chips
1 cup raisins
1 cup small pretzel twists broken into 1/2
1/2 cup coarse chopped mixed nuts, i use peanuts, macadamias and cashews, salted or unsalted
half of a 14 oz. bag kraft caramels (unwrapped)
1 Tbl. water
coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, soda and salt in small bowl. In mixer bowl, cream butter, sugars and vanilla til creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape bowl as needed especially bottom. Slowly beat in flour mixture. Stir in rest of ingredients except caramels, water and sea salt. (I like to pre-mix the ingredients in a bowl tossing them. It makes adding them to the dough much easier and you don't have to stir as much and prevents the potato chips from breaking up too much.) Drop by rounded tablespoons (about large walnut-sized) onto ungreased cookie sheets. Or you can make them smaller. I prefer cookies that are a bit larger than the dinky ones.) If making larger ones, *lightly press tops down with palm of hand just a *tad. Bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on size, or until golden brown. Don't overbake. Remove to wire racks to cool. In medium bowl, melt caramels with water in microwave til melted. With spoon or small whisk, drizzle over cookies a few at a time. Sprinkle caramel with sea salt as you go. Just a little. Repeat til all are done. Let caramel cool and harden. Store airtight.

KITCHEN SINK COOKIES

These salty-sweet, crisp-soft cookies are a great way to use up extra candy, baking chocolate and even pretzels and chips. Making toffee is surprisingly easy and it's fun to mix in chopped peanuts, sesame seeds or whatever you like - but store-bought toffee bits are fine, too. (And you can make the cookies smaller, or drop the chilled dough onto the cookie sheet instead of slicing it, if you prefer.)

Time 1h

Yield About 18 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup/57 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/110 grams toasted nuts or seeds (optional)
2 1/4 cups/280 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more for tossing
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), slightly softened at room temperature
1 packed cup/220 grams light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
About 3/4 cup/170 grams salty mix-ins, such as nuts, broken mini pretzels, corn chips or potato chips
About 3/4 cup/170 grams sweet mix-ins, such as toffee bits (brickle), chocolate chips or chunks, M&M's, cut-up candy bars or dried fruit

Steps:

  • Make the toffee, if you'd like: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  • In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let bubble, whisking occasionally, until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and, if using, stir in nuts or seeds. Pour onto the prepared pan and let the mixture run toward the edges. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to spread mixture; it should not be more than 1/4-inch thick. Set aside to harden completely. (If weather is very hot and humid, chill in refrigerator.) Break or chop into small (about 1/2-inch) chunks.
  • Make the cookies: In a bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together at medium speed until fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg, then vanilla. In three batches, add the dry ingredients, mixing to combine each time.
  • In a bowl, combine the sweet and salty mix-ins and toss them with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add mix-ins to dough and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Roll dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter, wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  • Slice the dough log into approximately 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Don't worry if the slices are slightly broken or misshapen; these cookies should be bumpy and rough.
  • Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. When done, the edges should be just browning and the tops should feel soft. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.
