How to Making the Panera Kitchen Sink Cookie

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
  • Cream butter and sugars together.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
  • Measure dry ingredients together.
  • Add to butter and egg mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold chocolate chips and chopped chocolate into the batter.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Form dough into 8 balls, well-spaced between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Press the dough balls into your bowl of caramel bits, and then sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes, removing when the cookies are just browning around the edge and just set on top to maintain a gooey center. For crisper cookies, bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing and allow to cool on a cooling rack for another 20 minutes.
