Kitchen Sink Cookies
Beginning in early April, I'll show before and after pictures of UFOs as they are wrestled to completion. Some will be quilts, others knit, and maybe a few yarns will be spun.
In the meantime, grab a virtual Kitchen Sink Cookie. I baked a batch of the real thing this afternoon. Tossing in a little of this and a little of that is my usual recipe, but here's what I used today.
Kitchen Sink Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1-1/4 cup brown sugar, packed tightly
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup white flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
2-1/2 cups uncooked quick oats
16 oz. chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Options: Substitute your favorite chips, nuts, and/or dried fruits for the chocolate chips and nuts that I used. Make them the Kitchen Sink Cookies of the Day at your house.
Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, milk and vanilla; beat well. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and nuts; mix well. Drop by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 9-10 minutes for a chewy cookie, or 12 to 13 minutes for a crisp cookie. Remove to wire racks to cool. Place in tin to keep fresh. Yield: 5 doz. 2-1/2” cookies. Enjoy!
