How to Make Cookies for the Non-Baker

We all love fresh made cookies but some of us are baking-challenged. But never fear because there are some quick and easy short cuts for anyone to have delicious fresh baked cookies.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Refrigerated, Pre-Packaged Cookie Dough
• Your Favorite Mix-ins
• Cookie Sheet
• Oven Mitt
• Spatula
• Cooling Racks or Aluminum Foil

1. Purchase your favorite pre-made cookie dough, such as sugar cookie or chocolate chip.
2. Remove cookie dough from container and pre-heat oven to required temperature by following directions on the package.
3. Place the cookie dough in a mixing bowl and allow to sit out until it is easily blendable.
4. Add your favorite cookie mix-ins into the dough and blend by hand or on the lowest setting of a hand mixer, making sure not to over blend because this could thin the dough too much.
5. Drop cookies by spoonfuls to non-greased cookie sheet and bake according to estimated time on the cookie container.
6. Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on wire racks or aluminum foil on a countertop.
