Have you ever wondered, “How do you make this?”, “I wish I could do this”, “How do you repair this”, etc. It’s fun to learn new things that you are not used to, so today I’m going to talk about how to make cookies! Cookies are what everyone loves. This is why I’m going to talk about cookies!

Step 1:

First, for making the cookies you have to get the ingredients such as sugar, butter,vanilla, egg, flour, baking soda and salt. You also have to preheat the oven to 375º F. According to Chef David, “Preheating an oven is especially important with baking when you use yeast, baking soda and baking powder as leavening’s – which react to heat. Food also cooks faster in a preheated oven – you’ve got the right temperature from the get-go and your dish can start cooking immediately and properly” (Preheating). This is very important if you want your cookies to be delicious.

Next, you mix the sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl and maybe some extras. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). You would either have to use a mixer or  a spoon, it just depends what you want to use, but the best to use is a mixer. When following a recipe you have to have the exact measurements to make the dough stiff enough. After about 5-10 minutes of mixing you can move on to step 3.

Then, you drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. This is only to make it perfectly round or you can either make a ball with your hands and put it on a cookie sheet, but this is more exact. This is the fun part to put it in your hands and mess with it(WASHED HANDS ONLY!).

Last, you bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. You can tell if it is ready when the centers are soft! This is honestly the best part to watch the cookies grow up right before your eyes! When it is ready, you take it out and devour the cookies that you made!

 

Cookies are really fun to make! Make sure to make the measurements exactly what the recipe says. Plus you can add different ingredients such as chocolate chips, and candy to give it your signature touch! Cookies are the best thing for sweets you can make many different types of flavors! Luckily, some day you will be able to make your own signature touch for your cookies that you made! Like I did I made my own Reese’s Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.
