Momofuku Milk Bar’s Compost Cookie Adaptation

I added coconut, pecans, ritz crackers and chocolate chips to my cookies.  To compensate for the oily coconut, I reduced the butter by about 4-5 tablespoons.  And, I think I’ll do the same next time.
(Even if I choose different snacks and sweets.)

Original Recipe Courtesy of Regis & Kelly

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 TBSP corn syrup (originally 1 TBSP)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking powder (originally 2 teaspoons)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp fine sea salt (originally 2 teaspoons kosher salt)
1 1/2 cups of your favorite candies &/or baking ingredients
(Kelly used mini chocolate chips, raisinettes, rollos & cocoa krispies)
1 1/2 cups our favorite snack foods (chips, pretzels, etc)
(Kelly used goldfish, ritz, & fritos)

Cream butter, sugars and corn syrup with a hand mixer until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix for 2-3 minutes to incorporate and create smooth, creamy texture.

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Then, by hand, gently stir in dry mixture until just combined.  Add your selection of baking ingredients and snack foods.  Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Refrigeration is needed or the cookies will be paper thin.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F while you form your cookies.

Drop dough by the spoonful onto parchment covered baking sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees F. (Or, 350F in a convection oven)  Bake 10-13 min.  Cool the cookies completely on baking sheet.  Then, transfer to a serving dish or cookie tin before you devour them.
