To make cookies easily, a simple and popular method is to make chocolate chip cookies in one bowl with minimal steps:
- Melt the butter (about 90% melted but not hot).
- Whisk in sugars until combined.
- Add vanilla extract and an egg, mix well.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined (don't overmix).
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at around 350°F (175°C) for 7-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly underdone for soft cookies.
- Let cool to firm up.
This recipe requires no mixer, no chilling, and only one bowl, making it very easy and quick to prepare.
Other easy cookie options include three-ingredient sugar cookies made with butter, sugar, and flour, mixed and rolled into balls, then baked at 325°F for 14-16 minutes.
These simple methods can be followed to quickly bake delicious cookies with minimal ingredients and equipment. If more detailed recipes or variations are needed, those can also be provided.
