• 1 cup of chocolate chips

• 1 cup of white chocolate

• ¼ cup of M&Ms

• ¼ cup of coconut

• ¼ cup of peanuts or other preferred nuts

• ¼ cup of butterscotch chips

• ¼ cup of sprinkles

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugars together for 5 minutes or until the mixture takes on a light beige coloring. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and garbage mix until just combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (A nonstick baking mat can also be used.) Scoop cookies onto the baking sheet using a medium-sized ice cream scoop. Leave an inch between the cookies.

Bake the cookies until they are golden brown, but soft—about 12–18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Any remaining cookie dough can be scooped up and kept in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Cardinal Gibbons senior has two titles and a desire to give back

Will Zarnik is the rare high school athlete who has won state championships in two sports.

As a sophomore, he was a starting defensive midfielder for the Cardinal Gibbons High School lacrosse team when it defeated Hough High School 14–5 in the state finals. Zarnik added a second title in soccer last fall when the Crusaders won 1-0 against Weddington High School.

In a different family, that might seem remarkable. But not for the Zarniks. “It’s something I always grew up wanting and believing I would be able to do simply because I have an older brother who ended up winning four state championships in his high school career,” Zarnik says of his older brother, Jack, who graduated in 2018. “He ended up winning two for lacrosse and two for soccer. Always having that goal in front of me of winning as many state championships as possible has really helped me compete.”

Given a choice of sports, Zarnik has a clear preference. “I would definitely say lacrosse is my main sport,” he says. “Soccer is great and I’ve been playing for a while as well. I like to use soccer as kind of a break from lacrosse, and it’s great conditioning throughout the year.”

Zarnik will attend the United States Air Force Academy in the fall, where he will study chemical engineering and continue his lacrosse career. “We all get to take from this great country; we all get these freedoms and privileges that come with living in the United States,” he says. “Some of us do have to give, and I just want to be one of those people who gets the opportunity to give back to their country to protect these freedoms.” kind·ness /'kīn(d)nəs/ the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate.
