Notes

Store: Place the baked kitchen sink cookies in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week. Cookies taste best when enjoyed within the first 2 - 3 days.
See Variations section of the blog post to make these kitchen sink cookies with brown butter, with oats or with other mix-ins such as M&M’s.
Give your cookies a “cookie scoot.” Within the first minute of removing the cookies from the oven, use a large biscuit cutter (wider than the cookies) to help shape any cookies back into a more round shape. Place the cutter over the cookies so the edges of the cookie are inside the cookie/ biscuit cutter. In a circular motion, gently nudge the edges back into a round shape.
