An easy treat for Christmas preparations
The most important part about Christmas is relaxing together with loved ones. And baking is a great way for making this happen. These kitchen sink cookies are simple to make in just a moment, together with the smallest in the family. You don’t even need a mixer to make these cookies, and the idea behind them, besides the ease of making, is that you can throw in almost whatever you find in your cupboards. Nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, candy, cereal, coconut flakes, you name it! Whatever your favorite is, it fits these cookies!
Bake your own favorite flavor and share a picture of the cookies on Instagram with the hashtag #stalacookies. All those who share a picture by December 22nd will take part in a draw, with the winner receiving an accessory package to help in kitchen work. The set of a chopping board, silicone mat and dish brush is worth around 100 €.
Martha Stewart’s Kitchen Sink Cookies
200 grams softened butter
1,25 dl sugar
1,25 dl brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 dl flour
5 dl oats
5 dl chocolate chips
Around 5 dl your own additions (raisins, nuts, dates, coconut flakes, marshmallows etc)
In a large bowl with a wooden spoon, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. In another bowl, mix together all dry ingredients and add to the dough. Finally add oats, chocolate chips and other chosen additions.
Measure chunks the size of a tablespoon of the batter onto the baking tray. Press tops down with the bottom of a glass to flatten cookies evenly and make sure to have some space between the cookies.
Bake in 180 degrees for 15-18 minutes, until golden. Let the cookies cool down on the tray for some minutes before moving. Enjoy with a hot Christmas drink or wrap up as a present!
Tip! A Christmas feel can be added to the cookies by adding some cinnamon to the batter!
