Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 cup | Light brown sugar |
| 1/3 cup | White sugar |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 3 | Eggs |
| 3 tbsp | Milk |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1/2 to 1 cup | Chocolate chips or nuts (chopped, roasted walnuts recommended) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s adequately heated for baking perfection.
-
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and eggs, whisking them together until well blended.
-
Sweeten it up: Add the light brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract to the milk and egg mixture, stirring until the sugars are fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet ingredients mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Take your time to ensure all the dry ingredients are fully integrated into the batter.
-
Add the finishing touch: Now comes the fun part! Stir in your preferred add-ins, whether it’s chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a combination of both. Get creative and tailor the recipe to your taste preferences. Chopped, roasted walnuts add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to these cookies.
-
Form the cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop dollops of the batter onto a greased baking sheet. The batter should be easy to handle, allowing you to shape it into neat, uniform portions.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges and set in the center. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking, as the goal is to achieve a soft and chewy texture.
-
Enjoy and hide some for later: Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before indulging. Be warned: these heavenly cookies have a tendency to disappear in seconds! Consider hiding a few for yourself before they’re devoured by eager cookie enthusiasts.
