Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Ensure you have all your ingredients organized and ready to use. Measure the required amounts of flour, butter, sugar, and any additional flavorings you plan to incorporate.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter gently until it is completely liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly before using it in the mixture.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the mix, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture. Gently fold the mixture until no dry flour is visible. It should form a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and will allow for easier removal once baked.
Step 6: Shape the Cookies
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop small amounts of the cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring adequate space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 8: Cool the Cookies
After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note 1: Storage
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispiness for a few days.
Note 2: Variations
Feel free to customize your cookies by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to the batter for extra flavors.
Note 3: Baking Temperature
Make sure to check your oven’s accuracy with a thermometer, as different ovens may vary in actual baking temperatures.
Note 4: Cookie Size
For uniform cookies, try to keep the size of each batter drop consistent, adjusting the baking time as needed for larger or smaller cookies.
