Basic Cookie Dough
for chocolate chip cookies, raisin oatmeal, oatmeal, rainbow bits, or any other variation you would like to try.
With a house full of kids I often don't have time to search recipe books for the perfect cookie recipe. This basic cookie dough recipe can be used for making a variety of favorites and is simple enough for the kids to help with.
*note* after a few years of experimenting I have found these work best with butter if your family prefers the flatter softer cookie, or use margarine for a taller more filling version.
In med bowl sift together:
2 1/4 cups of flour
3/4 tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
In large mixing bowl combine:
1 cup butter or margarine softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown suger
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture gradually, mixing until all ingredients are combined.
