Cookies

Steps

• Gather Ingredients

  The first step in any baking endeavor is to gather all your ingredients. Ingredient on the right!

• Preheat Oven

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s important to preheat the oven so that your cookies bake evenly.

• Mix Dough

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips (or other mix-ins).

• Shape 'n Bake

  Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

• Enjoy!

  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in a taste of your freshly baked cookies! They pair perfectly with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee.
