Sweet Salty Kitchen Sink Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Base

01 - ¾ cups unsalted butter, softened
02 - ¾ cups dark brown sugar
03 - ¼ cup white sugar
04 - 2 egg yolks, room temperature
05 - 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
06 - 1½ cups all-purpose flour
07 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
08 - ¼ teaspoon baking powder
09 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

10 - ⅓ cup crushed potato chips
11 - ⅓ cup crushed pretzel pieces
12 - ½ cup Valentine's Day M&M's
13 - ¼ cup white chocolate chips
14 - 2 tablespoons Valentine's Day sprinkles

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven warming to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Beat your softened butter with both sugars for a full two minutes until it's super light and fluffy.
03 - Mix in those egg yolks and vanilla until your mixture gets pale and fluffy - about 2 minutes of mixing should do it.
04 - Gently mix in your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt just until everything comes together.
05 - Fold in all your mix-ins: those crunchy potato chips, pretzel pieces, festive M&M's, white chocolate chips, and colorful sprinkles.
06 - Scoop dough onto your prepared sheets (6 per sheet) and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Pro tip: For perfectly round cookies, give them a gentle press at the 10-minute mark.
07 - Right when they come out of the oven, you can swirl a circular glass around each cookie for that picture-perfect round shape.
08 - Let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Add extra toppings if you're feeling fancy!

# Notes:

01 - These cookies combine sweet and salty flavors for an irresistible treat
02 - Perfect for Valentine's Day with festive colors and decorations
03 - Can be shaped into perfect circles using the glass swirl technique
