Cookies, which are also called biscuits in some parts of the world, are small, flat baked goods that are made from a sweet, flour-based dough.Cookies can be made with nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other sweet or salty additions.They can be made into sandwiches with either a layer of jam or sweet filling or covered in chocolate or icing.Adding cookies to other desserts can be done using fruit purees and grains, or as a base layer for other dishes.While there are many types of pre-made cookies that you can purchase from the store, it is also fairly simple to make your own homemade cookies, and with a basic cookie recipe, you are able to personalize the dough to your liking.
Step 1: Make sure your oven is ready.
It should be set to 350 F.As the oven warms up, gather your ingredients and your tools: a small bowl, a medium bowl and a wooded spoon.If you want, line the cookie sheet with paper.Grease the baking sheet if you aren't using parchment paper.
Step 2: Take the baking soda and mix it with the vinegar.
Put the mixture in the small bowl and let it foam for a while.
Step 3: The butter and sugar should be put together.
The medium bowl and wooded spoon can be used to mix the batter.The mixture of baking soda andvinegar should be added.If you want to combine, stir.Brown sugar is sweeter than white sugar.For a smooth, nutty cookie, substitute half the butter for peanut butter, almond butter or your favorite nut butter.
Step 4: Put the flour in it.
When you add all the flour, stir it together to make a nice dough.Bring the last of it together by kneading it with your hands.Additional ingredients can be added now, such as: chocolate or carob chips, Raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruit.
Step 5: The cookie dough should be on the baking sheet.
To allow the cookies to spread out, leave one to two inches between the dough balls.For 15 minutes, bake.When the cookies are ready, transfer them to a wire cooling rack and let them cool.
Step 6: Let's experiment!
The basic cookie dough can be used to make chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookies.Try different sugars, flours, extracts, and additional ingredients to find your favorite cookie recipe.Substitute the extract for maple, almond, or another flavor of cookies.Add lemon or orange zest to your cookies.To make chocolate cookies, add 14 cup of cocoa plus one to two ounces of water or milk.
Step 7: You can choose your favorite cookie.
Everyone has a different idea of what makes a good cookie.Some people like them and others don't.Those who prefer soft and smooth are preferred by others.It is up to you to find your favorite style and flavor.If you have a food allergy, watch out for cookies that contain common allergens, such as soy, egg, nuts, dairy products, or anything else that might cause a reaction.
Step 8: You should eat your cookie.
There are many ways to eat a cookie, but you can simply eat the cookie.You can pick up cookies with your hands.Some cookies are bite-sized and meant to be eaten in one bite, but for most cookies, take small bites.You should always chew your food thoroughly.To help your body digest food more easily, you should chew soft foods about 10 times and hard foods up to 30 times before swallowing.
Step 9: Use a beverage to wash it down.
Cookies can be served with a hot or cold beverage.After chewing and swallowing your cookie, take a sip of your beverage and wash it down.
Step 10: You should dunk your cookie.
If you want to dunk cookies in a formal setting, try not to do it at a dinner party or fine-dining restaurant.A cookie can be dunked into a glass of milk, tea, or the like.If you want to absorb some of the liquid, hold the cookie for a few seconds, but not so long that it breaks.Put the cookie portion in your mouth.The rest of the cookie can be eaten or dunked.Don't dunk your fingers into your beverage to soak your cookie when you no longer have enough to eat.You can wash the rest of the cookie with your beverage.There are cookie bits at the bottom.
Step 11: Remove the cookies from the sandwich.
Cookie sandwiches have two layers of cookie separated by icing or jam.If you want to peel the layers apart, grab each layer of the cookie with a different hand.Place your fingers around the cookie layers.Pull the layers away from each other as you twist.The one that doesn't have icing is the top layer of cookie.You can lick off the icing or eat it.
Step 12: Bite-sized cookie dough balls can be made.
It is safe to eat raw cookie dough that does not contain eggs.If you want to make cookie dough balls, you have to divide the dough into bits.Roll the dough bits into small balls with your hands.They should be chilled in the fridge to prevent them from becoming soft and doughy.Store the dough balls in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a year.
Step 13: Cookie dough can be used to make ice cream.
Cookie dough balls can be added to ice cream.If you want to add them to a bowl of ice cream, let it sit for a few minutes.Add the cookie dough balls to the bowl and mix them into the ice cream.Transfer it to a cone with a spoon.If you want to add cookie dough to a milk shake, make sure you add the balls after the shake has been blended.
Step 14: You can make truffles.
Cookie dough can be made into cookie dough truffles.One cup of chocolate chips can be melted using a double boiler.Remove the chips from the heat when they're melted.You can use a variety of chocolate to make the coating.There are cookie dough balls.One at a time, roll each cookie dough ball in chocolate.Transfer the chocolate-covered cookie dough balls to the cookie sheet.The cookie dough truffles should be put in the freezer to let the chocolate set.It's best to serve it cold.
Step 15: You can make a cookie sandwich.
Allow your cookies to cool before baking them.The tops and bottoms of the cookies should be facing down.Place another cookie on top of the cookie bottoms with the top facing up.A one-inch layer of ice cream is a popular filling.
Step 16: A cookie ice cream cake is possible.
Take a fresh bunch of cookie dough and press it into the pie plate.The dough should be baked in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.Allow it to cool down.Add ice cream to the rest of the pie dish when the cookie base has cooled.The ice cream needs to be put down.If you want to top it with whipped cream or chocolate sauce, cut into slices.
