You can customize these cookies to your preferences by adding any type of nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips you have on hand. Let’s get started on creating these delightful cookies that are bound to become a favorite in your household.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup of assorted mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, coconut flakes, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined, resulting in evenly textured cookies.
3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Using an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the ingredients together until they are well blended.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. The egg helps bind the ingredients together, and the vanilla adds a wonderful aromatic flavor to the cookies.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as it could result in tough cookies. The dough should be cohesive and slightly sticky.
6. Now comes the fun part! Stir in your assorted mix-ins to the cookie dough. You can get creative here and use whatever you have on hand or whatever suits your taste buds. Whether you prefer chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, or a combination of all three, feel free to add up to 1 cup of mix-ins.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some room between each cookie for spreading. Gently flatten the dough with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies.
9. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious One Cup Of Everything Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for the perfect cozy treat.
These cookies are a delightful way to use up pantry staples and create a treat that is uniquely yours. Get creative with your mix-ins and enjoy the process of baking these deliciously customizable cookies. Gifting a batch to friends or family is also a lovely way to share the joy of homemade treats. We hope you have fun making and savoring these One Cup Of Everything Cookies in your cozy home.
