BIG OR SMALL COOKIES
As you may know, we bounce back and forth between BIG and mini cookies. When you are looking to feed a crowd and you need a “catering size” that is manageable with just 2 or 3 bites, we suggest making mini cookies. If you are looking for GIANT cookies that you can indulge in or possibly share with a friend, make BIG cookies. It’s all up to you.
This batch we made small cookies with just 1 1/2 TBSP of dough per cookie. It was perfect but we can see how making big cookies with 1/4 cup of dough would be amazing too!

KITCHEN SINK COOKIE DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet.
2. Cream the butter, brown sugar and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are blended.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
4. Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until all combined.
5. Hand stir in the chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzel pieces and toffee pieces.
6. Scoop out about 1 1/2 TBSP of dough for smaller cookies (or 1/4 cup dough for BIG cookies). Place dough balls on prepared pan (12 cookies to a pan if small cookies and 6 to a pan if BIG cookies).
7. Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack. NOTE: Baking time will be longer if you make BIG cookies.
