How to Make Momofuku Milk Bar's Compost Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the pretzels, potato chips, chocolate chips, cereal, and any other desired sweet and salty snacks. Mix until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
