Intro

This guide is to help in the creation of your own cookies to help ascend your game-play to a whole new level. This is by no means an ultimate guide, but it does give a detailed introduction to cookie baking.

Plain Cookies

"We all gotta start somewhere."

Ingredients:

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)

2 tsps cornstarch

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp backing soda

1 tsp salt

Directions:

Whisk together the cornstarch, flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Mix butter and sugars until well combined. Recommended: brown the butter before mixing sugars.

Add eggs and vanilla to wet ingredients. Slowly incorporate eggs to mixture while stirring intermittently.

Mix wet and dry ingredients.

Use scooper or tablespoon to portion out dough and place dough balls onto parchment (or wax) paper lined tray (do not over crowd, keep them at least 2 inches apart).

If desired, sprinkle small amounts of sea salt to top of dough balls. For best results, refrigerate for an hour before baking.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. Add or reduce time for firmer or softer texture. Cool for 10 minutes on tray before moving to cooling rack or plate.

Peanut Butter Cookies

"Get yourself some jam cookies!"

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter

1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugat

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cup chunky or creamy peanut butter (I prefer Skippy natural with honey. Jif is great if you want terrible peanut butter)

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions:

Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together until light and fluffy.

Mix in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated.

Use scooper or tablespoon to portion out dough. Roll into balls and dip the tops into a small amount of granulated sugar (be mindful of stickiness).

Place dough balls onto parchment (or wax) paper lined tray sugar-side up (do not over crowd, keep them at least 2 inches apart). Press fork onto tops of dough balls vertically and horizontally to form a hashtag pattern.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on tray before moving to cooling rack or plate. These cookies may come out softer than average cookies, so consider waiting longer for them to cool down on tray before removing them to prevent them from falling apart during transfer.

Coat large spoon with butter or non-stick spray to prevent mixture from sticking while stirring for next step.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on tray before moving to cooling rack or plate.
