Customizable Cookie Dough Recipe

 

I recently made Heath Bar Cookies, Reese's Pieces Cookies and my regular old Chocolate Chip Cookies. This recipe makes a lot of cookies, it makes about 6-7 dozen cookies. You can freeze some cookie dough for later use or refrigerate it and make cookies through out the week for family, friends, coworkers or your spouse :) Or you can half the recipe but that's not how I roll right now.

 

 

 

 

4 Sticks butter - softened

2 Cups of brown sugar

1 Cup granulated sugar

2 Eggs

2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

4 1/4 Cups of Flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon of Salt

2-3 12-OZ bags of any candy/chocolate/nuts combination your heart desires!

 

Examples:

White Chocolate

Chocolate Chips

Heath Bar Baking Chips

Reese's Pieces

Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

Walnuts

Pecans

Toffee Chips

M&Ms

Raisins - eww

 

Preheat your oven to 375

 

Beat the sugars, butter, vanilla and eggs until creamy (use a stand mixer or a handheld mixer).

 

 In a seperate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix to form a dough. Sorry, the only way I found that works for this is using your hands.

 

Seperate your dough into thirds for different types of cookies unless you only want one kind of cookie. Add your Candy/Chocolate/Nuts. Add as little or as much as you would like.

 

Roll your dough into rounded tablespoons and bake 12 on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10 - 15 minutes at 375. Remove when the cookies are golden and only the centers look a little soft, do not overbake!

 

To store dough place in a ziplock freezer bag removing all the air and store in the freezer or fridge. If cooking from the fridge let your dough sit out for 20 minutes to soften. If baking from the freezer thaw your dough in the fridge the night before baking then let your dough sit out on a counter for 20 minutes before baking.

 

Enjoy!
