How Do You Make Cookie Dough By Hand?
To make cookie dough by hand, first gather your ingredients – flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, salt, and any additional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and slowly mix them into the butter mixture until a dough forms. Add in any mix-ins and mix just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Roll the dough into balls or shape it into a log for slice-and-bake cookies. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
