Making cookie dough has been a favorite baking activity for generations of families. Everyone has their own recipe and methods for creating a deliciously sweet treat for themselves. Whether you prefer extras like chocolate chips and nuts or like a classic sugar cookie dough, here are some tips for making cookie dough from scratch like a pro.
Before beginning, make sure to gather all of your ingredients ahead of time. Most recipes will call for similar ingredients – butter, sugar, salt, eggs, and flour. You may need additional items, like baking soda and extracts, depending on the cookie you’re making.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together. Beat them until they become light and fluffy. You’ll want to make sure that the butter is at room temperature so it will be easy to mix. If you’re using brown sugar, make sure that you break up any clumps so that the ingredients will be uniformly blended.
Add the eggs and mix until they are blended into the mixture. At this point you can also add in any flavoring or extracts like vanilla or almond.
Add the salt and baking soda, then mix the ingredients together until everything is combined.
Finally, slowly add the flour. You may need to mix this by hand, as it can be difficult for a mixer to incorporate the flour properly. Mix until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix. If you’re adding extras, like chocolate chips and nuts, now is the time to fold them into the dough.
Once the cookie dough has come together, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. To use the dough, roll it into balls and then flatten them slightly with a fork. Bake and enjoy!
Making cookie dough is a great activity for anyone, whether it’s just to treat yourself or to share with others. Follow these tips for a delicious homemade cookie dough that will leave you cookies feeling like a pro.
