Kitchen Sink Cookies
Adapted from recipe by Martha Stewart
Makes about 40
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped dark cooking chocolate
1 cup mini M&Ms
Directions
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Line baking sheets with baking paper.
- In a large bowl with a wooden spoon or hand mixer, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Stir in vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into butter mixture until well blended. Add oats, M&Ms and chocolate
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoons trays about 2 inches apart. Press tops down with the bottom of a glass to flatten cookies evenly. Bake until golden, about 16 to 18 minutes. (Mine needed only 9 minutes) Cool on pan for 2 minutes. Remove from pan, and finish cooling completely on wire rack.
Kitchen Sink Cookies
This is Billy P. Penguin. He likes long walks on the beach, fresh fish, and kitchen sink cookies made with orange-flavoured M&Ms. He says the recipe is a little too oaty, but still quite delicious. He says you can use just about anything in these cookies – nuts, choc chips, raisins, lollies etc but M&Ms are his favourite.
