Cooling Rack Cookies
We’ve got some cookies that are currently on a cooling rack, just waiting to be baked into the ovens. Just look at how lovely they are:
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 your favorite mix-ins)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or any desired mix-ins) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look soft.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. This step is crucial to achieve that perfect texture!
Enjoy these heavenly cookies warm or at room temperature, and don’t forget to share with friends and family—if you can bear to part with them!
