The Cookie That Took Me Back: Nostalgia in Every Bite
Growing up, we all have that cookie version that sticks with us. Maybe it was a chewy chocolate chip, a sweet snickerdoodle, or a crisp oatmeal raisin—whatever your go-to was, there’s something special about it. This recipe is all about capturing that same nostalgic feeling, while using a few extra special ingredients to make it even more delicious!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or your favorite add-ins like nuts or dried fruit)
Optional:
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (for a crunch factor)
- A pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy. This step is key for achieving that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated. This will give the cookie dough that perfect sweetness and depth of flavor.
