Pro Tips for Making Perfect Christmas Kitchen Sink Cookies

• Room Temp Butter: Ensure butter is truly softened for a fluffy dough.

• Don’t Overmix: Mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined to keep cookies tender.

• Get Creative with Add-ins: Experiment with different candies, nuts, or even dried fruit.

• Perfect Pretzel Pieces: Crush pretzels into varying sizes for textural interest.

• Sprinkle Strategically: Add extra sprinkles on top of dropped dough for maximum visual appeal.

• Don’t Overbake: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers are still slightly soft; they’ll set as they cool.
