This is the recipe we used. I found it the last time we wanted to make cookies, but only had one egg. It was the only one I found, but it is great!
Ingredients:
* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream together butter and sugar:
Mixing by hand worked much better than the mixer. It made the dough stick together better.
Then add egg and vanilla (we were almost out of vanilla, so it all went in):
Then slowly add the flour and mix together:
I filled a muffin pan with different things: sugar, sprinkles, cinnamon, and chocolate chips:
Then rolled the dough into balls and let the kids roll them in one of the toppings before baking them:
Morgan figured out how to save time by putting one ball in each ‘cup’ and shaking the muffin pan around (and Dennis figured out how to sneak chocolate chips):
All read to go into the oven, for 8-10 minutes (we went with 9):
Cool them on the tray for 2 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack.
Here they are in all their yummy glory! My favorites are the ones covered in cinnamon:
