Rookies Cookies
First things first, feast your eyes on this heavenly imagery of our star cookie.
Alright, so you’re probably wondering, “What do I need to bake these delightful discs of joy?” Here’s the scoop:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or more, we won’t judge!)
Once you have your ingredients ready, it’s time to channel your inner cookie maker! Grab your mixing bowl and let’s get started!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial! We want those cookies baked to perfection.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set that aside like a good little sidekick.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until it’s all light and fluffy. You want it to look like a delicious cloud!
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in that flour mixture until well combined. Don’t overdo it—mix just enough so that the flour is gone!
- Now it’s time for the star of the show: chocolate chips! Fold them in gently, like you’re tucking them into a cozy bed.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space because they love to spread out.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will start to smell heavenly, and you might be tempted to dive right in!
- Once baked, let them cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Or just eat them while they’re warm—who’s counting?
And there you have it, folks! Your very own batch of Rookies Cookies. Perfect for sharing with friends, family, or just for hoarding all to yourself. Remember: calories don’t count when you’re having fun! Bake on!
