How do you bake cookies or cupcakes using the creaming method?

In: Baking, Cookies [Edit categories]

Answer:

When recipe instructions say to "cream" butter and sugar, it means to mix the butter and sugar together with an electric beater until they are well combined. You should no longer be able to see any sugar crystals separate from the butter, and the butter should lighten in color. For delicate cookies or cakes, the butter and sugar should be beaten until you can rub a bit between your thumb and forefinger without feeling any grains of sugar.
