Tips:

Be open to experimentation: Garbage cookies are all about using up leftovers, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Swap out chocolate chips for raisins, nuts, or dried fruit. Add a splash of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will be easier to handle and store once they have cooled completely.

Conclusion:

Garbage cookies are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover ingredients. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can make garbage cookies that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
