This week I decided to perfect my basic cookie dough recipe. Tuesdays batch came out a little odd and then the I was taking care of a little boy tantrum so they burnt. It just gave me another chance to try something a little different. I tweaked a few things and am VERY happy with this recipe. This cookie dough is the base for pretty much every cookie I make. This week I am making butterscotch chip but you could do chocolate or whatever floats your boat.
Ok here's what you will need:
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter (chilled but soft)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups flour
2 large eggs
dash of salt
dash of cinnamon
2 cups butterscotch chips (or whatever you want)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degress
In a large mixing bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and almond.
Then add the baking soda, flour, salt, and cinnamon (make sure it is a small dash of cinnamon, don't go crazy). Start mixing that then add the eggs one at a time.
Blend really well. It will look all pretty and smooth.... then when you add the eggs....
It will be nice and firm and chunky. Just mix in your chips.
Grease a cookie sheet. I really like to use the spray that has flour in it. Roll the dough into palm size little balls and kinda smash it so that it is a little flat. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
Yum! Because they are a soft cookie you need to be careful to let them cool flat or else they will break.
Happy Henry!
Have a great day guys!
