There appear to be several disconnects between the formula and the directions. i.e. milk eggs and vanilla are not listed in the ingredients list but are mentioned in the directions. A one teaspoon drop cookie cooked for 12 -15 min. at 375°. Is this a correct post? v/r
This is a great cookie base to have on hand. You can stir in anything you like or have (chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, etc) in any amount that makes you happy. I added an extra tablespoon of milk as I found the dough a bit dry. I also chilled the dough for about 15 minutes before baking.
This is an understated recipe but has really grown on me. Makes it easy to bake cookies on a weekday, and I am on track to get 4–5 batches of cookies from a single batch of mix. I’ve baked them plain, with cacao nibs, pumpkin spices, and chocolate chips. If using a larger scoop like the 40 size, chilling the batter is highly recommended. Aim for 2 tbsps of spices combined unless they’re freshly ground—I found that 1 tbsp was too little.
Glad I tried a sampling before giving this away as a gift. The cookies are just okay.
