Cookie Problems: Kitchen Sink Cookies +Contest Winner!

So here we have some good old Kitchen Sink Cookies. It's when you have a cookie problem craving that just won't quit, and you simply MUST make cookies with whatever random ingredients you have in stock.

Chocolatey, crunchy, caramel-y, toffee-y. Sprinkles, even. Go for it.

Raisins from 2010? Jam 'em.

Toffee bits you bought on sale? Throw 'er in.

Crunchy nuts you use for oatmeal when you're trying to be healthy? Nut zone.

Rainbow sprinkles you bought for last year's birthday cake? No problemo.

Fancy expensive milk chocolate chunks? Oh yes.

I didn't include all of the above ingredients, but you get the gist. Throw the cookie dough together. Just throw it against a wall, practically. Then all you have to do is wait a measly 14 minutes max. Pour yourself a milky tea, get an epi of Orange Is The New Black ready and you will be in cookie couch potato heaven SOOOO soon.
