Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • (1kg) 8 cups All-purpose flour
  • (450g) 2 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
  •  (600g) 3 cups Granulated sugar
  • 2 cups  (400g) Brown sugar (packed)
  • 4 Eggs (large)
  • 4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 4 cups Optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone mats
  • Cookie scooper (for uniform size)
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Cream butter & sugars – In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (~3-4 mins).
  2. Add eggs & vanilla – Mix in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
  3. Dry ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
  4. Mix-ins – Fold in chocolate chips/nuts (if using).
  5. Chill dough for 30 mins (to prevent spreading).
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Scoop dough (~1 tbsp per cookie) onto lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake 8-10 mins until edges are golden (centers will look soft).
  9. Cool on sheets for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Bake in batches until all dough is used (~10 batches for 100 cookies).

Notes

✔ Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze unbaked dough for 3 months.
✔ Variations: Swap 1 cup flour for cocoa powder for chocolate cookies, or add cinnamon for spice.
✔ Uniformity: Use a cookie scoop for even size and baking.
