Some days I have a craving for cookies only I can't decide which kind to make. The fact is, I'm craving all kinds of cookies! My sister and I came up with the perfect solution: start with a base dough and make several kinds.
Basic cookie dough:
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 t salt
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
Divide the dough into 4 bowls and then add your desired ingredients. I generally make small cookies so if you want standard sized ones, double the recipe.
Some examples of what I like to do:
1- chocolate chunks (chopped chocolate is better than chips), 1 t cinnamon
2- peanut butter
3- cocoa powder, almond extract, craisins, chocolate chunks
4- coconut, corn flakes, almond extract
The list could include enumerable ingredients. A small amount of flour may need to be added or if the dough is too thick, add a bit of cream. Bake @ 375 for 8-10 minutes.
