BASIC ONE DOUGH, MANY COOKIES! image

My aunt gave this to me when I first started to cook, 48 years ago. I love it so much that it's my go to cookie recipe because you can make so many types of cookies from the same batch of dough.

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c butter (i use butter flavor crisco)
3/4 c granulated sugar
3/4 c light brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp water if needed. i use larger eggs so don't use the water
OPTIONAL: CHOCOLATE CHIPS, COCONUT, NUTS, PEANUT BUTTER, ETC.

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
  • 2. Add remaining dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. At this point I divide the dough into several smaller bowls and add ingredients from the optional list to make several types of cookies from the same cookie dough. This is especially handy if you are having a party or for cookie exchanges.
  • 3. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Drop by spoonfuls or a cookie dropper onto parchment paper. Flatten slightly. Bake 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Yield 30 nice size cookies.

I'm always looking for new cookie recipes, and this one is definitely a keeper. The cookies are soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies are so good, they're dangerous! I can't stop eating them. I've already eaten three, and I'm not even finished baking the batch yet.
