How to Make Cookies

Learning how to make cookies is a skill that you are likely to use over and over again. Many cooks pride themselves on their own personal recipe of cookies and will keep their secrets to themselves. However, learning how to make the perfect sugar cookies will allow you to mix in and add whatever ingredients to make them your own little creation.

The ingredients needed to make sugar cookies are:
-1/2 tsp lemon extract
-1 ½ cup all purpose flour
-2/3 cup softened unsalted butter
-1 egg yolk
-1 ½ tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 egg
-2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. This is the perfect temperature to bake cookies at.
2. Add flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Be sure not to mix the powder together just yet.
3. Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon extract into the bowl and beat. Be sure to mix until it has reached a somewhat creamy consistency.
4. Beat in the yolk and egg and stir mixture. Stir until the mixture has reached a consistency in the dough and there is no powder patches.
5. Roll the dough into little balls and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between each cookie so they won’t touch.
6. Bake cookies for 10 minutes or until they become golden around the edges. It’s important to take the cookies out before they are crispy or they will become hard when they set.

Baking cookies is a fun pastime for children to do with their parents. Learning how to make cookies will allow you to create delicious and easy treats anytime of the year. Cookies can be the perfect gift for someone, whether it’s for the holidays or just as a nice surprise.
