I occasionally get a craving for a solid chocolate chip cookie. It's definitely not my go-to dessert but every so often, a soft cookie hits the spot. The problem, however, is that I buy a bag of chocolate chips and end up snacking on the bag before I actually get around to making the cookies which is where these kitchen sink cookies come in handy. I usually make a batch of these cookies when I have random almost-gone bags of nuts, seeds, and chocolate chips. You can throw really anything you have around but the items listed in the recipe are my go-to ingredients.
PrintGluten-free cookies that use whatever types of nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, and/or dried fruit you might have on hand. Perfect for using the last little bits in your pantry!
Tips & Tricks: I've found the best combination for these cookies is a mix of 1/2 chocolate chips, 1/4 cup pecans, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, and 1/4 cup dried coconut flakes.

These cookies are by nature meant to be adaptable. I don't think I've made these kitchen sink cookies the same way twice as it always depends on what scraps I need to use. However, I do have a few additions not listed above:
Oatmeal: I like adding 1/4 cup of quick oats to the mix for 1/4 cup of the flour. Adds just a nice undertone of oats to the overall flavor of the cookie.
Additions: Dark chocolate, white chocolate, dried apricots, dried cherries, hazelnuts, and/or sunflower seeds (just to keep the list going from above!)
Brown Butter: Follow a similar procedure as this recipe to brown the butter first. The flavor is really good and feels just a bit indulgent.
As much as I like to grind my own flours and play around with different gluten-free mixes, it's also really handy to keep a solid mix on hand (and is usually cheaper than buying the individual flours/grains). Plus, if you are familiar with gluten-free mixes, you know how easily they can disappoint. So far everything I've tried has been a great (and easy) success. A few other recipes to try with this flour include:
Ricotta Cake with Mixed Berries
Chai Cupcakes
Pumpkin Bread with Oats
These look amazing- can't wait to make them. I love the idea of hemp seeds in a cookie!
