Basic Cookie Dough
for chocolate chip cookies, raisin oatmeal, oatmeal, rainbow bits, or any other variation you would like to try.
With a house full of kids I often don't have time to search recipe books for the perfect cookie recipe. This basic cookie dough recipe can be used for making a variety of favorites and is simple enough for the kids to help with.
*note* after a few years of experimenting I have found these work best with butter if your family prefers the flatter softer cookie, or use margarine for a taller more filling version.
In med bowl sift together:
2 1/4 cups of flour
3/4 tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
In large mixing bowl combine:
1 cup butter or margarine softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown suger
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture gradually, mixing until all ingredients are combined.

add these variations to the basic cookie dough
chocolate chip- add 2 cups of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
raisin- add 2 cups of raisins
