Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

5. Add the Mix-Ins:

• Fold in the chocolate chips, red and green candies, toffee bits, crushed pretzels, and holiday sprinkles.

6. Shape the Dough and Bake:

• Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

7. Cool and Decorate:

• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Optional: Add a few extra sprinkles or candies on top while the cookies are still warm for an extra festive touch.
