Title: Pliable Cookie Dough
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups your choice of mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, etc.)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together and no streaks of flour remain.
5. Fold in your choice of mix-ins, whether it’s chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Your pliable cookie dough is now ready to use! You can roll the dough into balls for classic round cookies, press it into a baking pan for bar cookies, or even shape it into logs for slice-and-bake cookies.
7. To bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the cookie dough portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep in mind that baking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your cookies, so adjust accordingly.
9. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee!
