→ Cookie Batter
01 -
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 tsp baking soda
03 -
½ tsp salt
04 -
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 -
¾ cup granulated sugar
06 -
¾ cup packed brown sugar
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
2 tsp vanilla extract
09 -
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, purple, yellow, and blue)
10 -
2 cups chocolate chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place parchment paper on a baking tray.
02 -
Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture turns fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
04 -
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, combining until just blended.
05 -
Split the dough into four sections and use pastel gel food coloring to create distinct colors for each section.
06 -
Take small pieces from each colored dough, press them together gently, and roll them into marbled dough balls. Flatten slightly and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
07 -
Add extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Let the cookies cool before moving them to a wire rack.
08 -
Pair the cookies with your favorite drink, or share them in festive packaging for a delightful gift.
# Notes:
01 -
Chill the dough for half an hour before baking if you want thicker cookies!
02 -
Gently mix the food coloring to avoid blending the colors too much and losing the marbled effect.
03 -
For a fun variation, substitute white chocolate chips or add festive sprinkles.
