Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies

These brown butter kitchen sink cookies are everything you could possibly want in a cookie—rich, chewy, a little crisp around the edges, and packed with layers of flavor in every single bite. The brown butter adds a deep, nutty warmth that instantly elevates the dough, while chunks of chocolate and sweet butterscotch melt into pockets of gooey goodness throughout. Then come the salty surprises—crunchy pretzels and crushed potato chips—that give these cookies their signature “kitchen sink” twist and that irresistible sweet-and-salty balance.

What makes these cookies truly unforgettable is the contrast. You get soft and chewy centers, crisp edges, melty chocolate, and just the right amount of crunch, all finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt that ties everything together. They feel indulgent, a little playful, and completely over-the-top in the best way. Perfect for sharing, gifting, or keeping all to yourself, these cookies are guaranteed to be a hit anywhere they go—and once you make them, they’ll quickly become one of those recipes you come back to again and again.
