Why are they called kitchen sink cookies?

These cookies get their name from the expression “everything but the kitchen sink” which means to include a large number of random items into something. These cookies are made with several different ingredients from chocolate chips to m&ms and pretzels too. Other kitchen sink cookie recipes can go as far as to include dried fruits, toffee, coconut, or oats, or even potato chips.

Can I use margarine in the cookies?

While you can certainly try, margarine often causes cookies to spread and go flat as they bake (something we want to avoid. To help combat this, make sure the cookie dough is nicely chilled and firm so that it can hold shape a little better as it bakes.
