Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Prepare a large baking sheet (or two) by lining them with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or coating them with cooking spray.
In the bowl of a large stand mixer, add the 2 cups of butter-flavored shortening. Turn the machine on a low setting to begin creaming the shortening.
Add the 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, 4 eggs, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla paste or extract to the shortening. Mix until well combined, which should take about 5 minutes.
Add the 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a good pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Mix on low to medium speed until combined. The texture should feel like easy-to-squeeze playdough; if it is too soft, add the additional 1/4 cup of flour.
Add all the mix-ins: mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, crushed potato chips, graham crackers, butterscotch chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed pretzels. You may find it easier to fold these in by hand.
Measure out the dough balls by rolling them to a size where your pointer finger can touch your thumb. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are perfectly browned. The author recommends exactly 12 minutes for the best result.
Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with a sprinkle of Maldon flaky salt. Let the cookies cool slightly on the pan before serving.
Notes
This is a great 'kitchen sink' base dough. You can use any odds and ends from your snack or baking cabinet. The butter-flavored shortening is essential for the specific flavor and texture of this recipe.
