Preheat
First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix Wet Ingredients
Next, combine melted butter and brown sugar until there are no lumps. Then, add maple syrup, egg, cashew butter, and vanilla and mix again.
Add Dry Ingredients
Add salt, quick-cooking oats, and baking soda and mix until everything is combined. Add in butterscotch chips, dark chocolate chunks, craisins, peanuts, and pretzel chunks and mix.
Chill Dough
Refrigerate for 1 hour to chill. If you would like to roll your cookie dough in extra toppings, place the shredded coconut and pretzels on a plate. Set aside.
Make Cookie Dough Balls
Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter into your hands and form it into a ball. Roll the cookie dough into the toppings, if desired. Press the extra toppings into the cookie dough ball. Place it onto the cookie sheet and slightly press down to form a cookie shape. Repeat the process above until you’ve fit 6 cookies on your baking sheet.
Bake cookies & enjoy!
Bake cookies at 350ºF for 11-14 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown. Let cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
Top Tips for Kitchen Sink Cookies
If you are rolling the cookie dough in additional toppings, don’t be afraid to really press the toppings into the cookie dough balls with your hands. The cookies will spread just a little bit when baking. Remember to press the cookie dough balls down slightly to avoid dome-shaped cookies. Slightly moisten your hands before rolling the cookie dough and wipe your hands in-between balls because the cookie dough is pretty sticky.
Storage
These kitchen sink cookies will last in an air-tight container on your countertop for up to 5 days, however, we highly recommend storing in your freezer for the freshest cookie any time. To freeze: first let the cookies cool completely. Then, transfer onto a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Once partially frozen, transfer to an airtight container or gallon-size plastic bag. These kitchen sink cookies will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
