Kitchen Sink Cookies are flexible and work with whatever delights or tasty remnants you have in the cupboard; hence, you can add in anything to these cookies but the kitchen sink. I used white chocolate and macadamia nut last week to make monster-sized cookies for a fundraiser. Often, I make really small cookies to feed a crowd or give everyone a treat without the consequences of a sugar frenzy afterward. Be creative and you will find Kitchen Sink Cookies to be a staple at your house soon, too.
