Start by selecting a recipe for the type of cookies you want to make. The recipe will tell you exactly what ingredients and how much of each to use and the steps to take, what temperature to set the oven at, and how long to leave the cookies in the oven. Generally, though, you use flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda or powder, and other ingredients according to the flavor and type of cookies you are making. If you are making drop cookies, you spoon out batter for each cookie and place it on a cookie sheet. For bar cookies, you mix up the batter and pour it into a pan. When the cookies are done cooking, you let them cool for a while and cut them into bars.

To make basic Chocolate Chip Cookies you need:

* 2 1/4 - 2 1/3 cups flour

* 1 Tsp. salt

* 1 Tsp. baking soda

* 1 Cup shortening or 1 Cup (2 sticks) butter

* 1/2 - 3/4 Cup packed brown sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)

* 3/4 - 1 Cup white sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)

* 1 - 2 Tsp. pure vanilla

* 2 eggs

* 1 1/2 - 3 Cups Chocolate Chips

* 1 Cup chopped walnuts (optional)

# Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

# In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Gently mix these together and then set this bowl aside.

# In a large bowl, beat together shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, and pure vanilla. When those are completely mixed together, add eggs and mix again until completely combined.

# Slowly add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, mixing until the dry ingredients are totally combined. At this point you should have a moderately thick cookie dough.

# Add chocolate chips, and if you want you can also add chopped walnuts. Mix together.

# Scoop up a Golf ball size amount of dough with a spoon and drop in onto a cookie sheet. Leave at least an inch of space between the cookies because they'll spread out when they cook. You can usually fit 12 cookies on a cookie sheet at a time.

# Put the cookies in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes. You'll want to check them after 8 minutes, but if they look doughy, you'll want to cook them for another couple of minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies sit on the pan for 3-5 minutes.

# Using a spatula, lift cookies off onto wax paper or tin foil. Let cool for about 5 more minutes.

# Eat and enjoy!

1 1/8 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking

1/2 teaspoon

2. measure into a large new bowl:

6 tablespoons sugar

6 tablespoons

1/2 cup margarine or butter (1 stick)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

using electric mixer cream the above ingredients until light and fluffy

3. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture. stir with wooden spoon

4. Add 1 cup of chips. mix a little

5. Drop dough into the cookie sheet, bake 10-12 minutes, 400 degrees

When i made this we didn't have vanilla so i just didn't add it, but the cookies were gross without the vanilla.

I hope they turn out better for you than they did for me, because i didn't use vanilla.
