At this time, many Americans are spending more time at home, cooking, baking, and for those with young kids, doing lots of arts & crafts.
We would like to share one of our favorite cookie recipes from BlueStar All-Star Chef Addison Osta Smith, winner of MasterChef Junior. This Kitchen Sink Cookie recipe starts with a chocolate chip cookie base, and then adds whatever else you have on hand. This is a great recipe as you try to use up things in your pantry. It also does not require a lot of anything, so if you have the tail end of a bag of chips or pretzels that you do not want to waste, this is the perfect way to use them up. The cookies end up being a perfect blend of a lot of different things. It is her take on the original Compost Cookies® from Chef Christina Tosi. Addison prefers the peanut butter chips over the butterscotch chips and extra pretzels and potato chips instead of adding the graham crackers. But feel free to modify this based on what you like and what you have! Marshmallows are the favorite addition for some.
