There’s something undeniably satisfying about fresh-baked cookies straight out of the oven. So, if you’re in the mood for some baking therapy, whip out your trusty KitchenAid stand mixer and get ready to make the most delicious cookies ever. In this recipe, we’ll walk you through creating the perfect Cookie Using KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of your KitchenAid stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixer bowl.
5. Mix on low speed until the flour is fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips or your desired mix-ins until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, store your delicious cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for days (if they last that long!).
Baking these cookies with your KitchenAid stand mixer not only saves you time but also ensures a consistent and thorough mixing of ingredients. The result? Perfectly soft and chewy cookies every time. Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins – from nuts to dried fruits or even sprinkles, the possibilities are endless. So, preheat that oven, grab your mixer, and let the baking therapy begin!
