Compost Cookies

These cookies, based on a cookie by Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar, are chock-full of interesting goodies. The combination of salty and sweet is wonderful. And though the ingredient list is somewhat odd, I promise it all works well together.

Instructions

  • Add the flour, coffee, xanthan, baking soda, and sea salt and beat until combined. Add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, potato chips, pretzel sticks and oats and stir until evenly mixed.
  • Using a small scoop (I like 1 ouncor large spoon, scoop dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheets, placing about 2 inches apart. Bake immediately, or for a fluffier texture, freeze for about 30 minutes until dough is firm.
