Ingredients You'll Need
Unsalted Butter
The base of this cookie dough recipe is unsalted butter. This ingredient is important because it gives the cookies a rich and buttery flavor without making them too salty. Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Sugar
To add sweetness to the cookies, you'll need sugar. Granulated sugar works best for this recipe, but you can also use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
Eggs
Eggs are essential for giving the cookie dough structure and binding all the ingredients together. Make sure to use large eggs for the best results.
All-Purpose Flour
For the dry ingredients, you'll need all-purpose flour. This type of flour is versatile and works well for baking cookies. Make sure to measure it properly for the perfect consistency.
Salt
A pinch of salt will help balance out the sweetness in the cookie dough. Make sure to use kosher salt for a more even distribution.
Vanilla Extract
To add a delicious flavor to the cookies, you'll need vanilla extract. Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor, but you can also use imitation if that's what you have on hand.
Food Coloring (optional)
If you want to make your cookies more festive, you can add a few drops of food coloring to your cookie dough. Orange, green, and purple are great colors to use for Halloween cookies.
