Panera Kitchen Sink Cookie Recipe

Inspired by Panera’s Kitchen Sink Cookie, I’ve tested and tweaked this recipe to make it even better—thick yet crisp on the edges, packed with melty chocolate, salty pretzels, crunchy toffee, and a hint of flakey sea salt. In other words, everything but the kitchen sink!

Ingredients

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup (213g) brown sugar
½ cup (99g) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs room temperature
2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup broken pretzels
½ cup potato chips
½ cup heath toffee bits
½ cup chopped chocolate bar or semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Using a hand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar till creamed.
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (213g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs.
1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 large eggs
In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until combined.
2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder
Reserve a few pretzel pieces, potato chips and chocolate to add to the top of the cookies. Stir in the pretzels, potato chips, toffee bits, chocolate pieces and nuts.
1/2 cup broken pretzels, 1/2 cup potato chips, 1/2 cup heath toffee bits, 1/2 cup chopped chocolate bar, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon and make 24 dough balls. Add the remaining add-ins to the outside of the dough balls. Place 6 to 8 on the cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 3 to 4 minutes, then place the cookies on a cooling rack. Continue baking the remaining cookies.
