Kitchen Sink Cookies

Though they're not the prettiest cookies in the world, Kitchen Sink Cookies are seriously delicious. Chocolate, oats, coconut, pecans, raisins, and a hint of peanut butter are combined here, but you could add and/or substitute various all sorts of other odds and ends you might have on hand (walnuts, white chocolate, crushed toffee). Whatever tasty bits you decide to add, these cookies are a great way to use up leftover chocolate, nuts, and other bake-able bits of deliciousness that you might have from other baking adventures.

Step 1 You'll Need. . .

Software

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup peanut butter¹
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• Large pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes²
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips³
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans⁴
• 1/8 cup raisins⁵

^{1 if you don't want to use peanut butter, omit and use 1/4 cup butter instead - almond or other nut butters might also be tasty options
2 if you don't want to use coconut, you can try substituting various sorts of dry flake cereals
3 use whatever type you like best - dark, milk, semi-sweet, white, or a mixture. You can also use crushed toffee or other candy if you prefer
4 use whatever type of nuts you're fond of, or leave them out if you don't fancy nuts
5 you can leave these out or use other dried fruits (like dried cranberries) if you prefer}

These look so good! Though, I was lead to believe they contained more kitchen sink.

I spent forever trying to figure out how to make them sink shaped!

Thanks! They're my favorite way to use up any kind of chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts.
