How to Make Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies From Scratch
Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite among many people. This is because they are so delicious and simple. Fortunately, they are simple to make as well. Here we will tell you how to make delicious chocolate chip cookies.
First, you will need to cream together 2 sticks of butter with 3/4 cups sugar and 3/4 cups brown sugar. You can use shortening instead or part shortening and part butter if you don’t have enough butter.
Next, add in 2 eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix it together very well, but you don’t need to beat it for any length of time. You can use an electric mixer, stand or hand, if you have one and want to make it easier.
Now, in a separate bowl, add 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix it together thoroughly. Make sure there are no lumps.
The Six Major Kinds of Cookies
Cookies are generally easy to make and one of the first things a beginning baker makes. There are only six major types of cookies, each with their own particular methods. Below, I have listed all six types (plus a seventh) and some characteristics and tips to help you make each one.
Molded Cookies
Moulded cookies are made by hand-rolling the dough and forming them into balls. Like peanut butter cookies they can be pressed flat with a fork. To stop the dough from sticking make sure to dust your fingers and utensils with flour.
Dropped Cookies
Dropped cookies are usually the easiest kind of cookie to make. Drop a teaspoonful of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. Make sure you leave sufficient room between cookies for spreading. A space of about a couple of inches is usually best. If uniform size is important you may wish to use a cookie scoop.

These cookies and cookie-dough ice-cream treats are also very tempting to those without a dairy allergy, so be warned. As always, eating the entire batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies can be bad for your tummy, so try to save some for the kids!
Freezing Cookie Dough for the Holidays
If you’re looking ahead to the holiday season and wondering how you’re going to get all your baking done, consider freezing your cookie dough ahead of time. When the holidays get closer you can get that last bit of shopping done or that last present made instead of spending all your time in the kitchen.
Cookie dough will freeze well for 4 to 6 weeks. Rolls of dough should be sealed tightly in plastic wrap (chill in refrigerator first before freezing). Other kinds of dough should be stored in
airtight containers. Drop cookies (unbaked) may be frozen on cookie sheets and transferred to freezer bags. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t try to freeze soft meringue-type cookie dough. Chocolate, brownies, peanut butter, and sugar cookie dough (or anything similar) freezes well. Let the dough defrost in the refrigerator (about 2-3 hours). Make sure to label the container with the date and type of cookie dough.

Chocolates Origin. When devouring chocolate, you are partaking of the cacao tree, which requires definite environmental conditions to effectively grow. Prospering within Central America, records far back as 3000 years, the cacao tree is also known as Theobroma, a scientific name branded by Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778).

Chocolates Popularity. Chocolate is so admired experts are concerned there may be a dearth in the future. To keep up with demand, resourceful methods are being used to cultivate the cocoa tree. One arrangement of growth makes use of providing premature shade for the cocoa trees, and then treats them with excess sunlight to augment production.

Best Tasting Snack Foods
There’s breakfast
, lunch, and dinner. And then there’s snacks! This article is all about the best snack foods out there. Those foods that we sneak in between breaks and treats we still manage to fit in after a filling dinner. We eat snacks for diet reasons and health reasons, but there’s little doubt why we really choose the snack foods we do, their taste. Traditionally snacks were leftovers from meals but we’ve evolved nicely.
The first kind of best tasting snack food is actually completely natural, fruit. Many packaged and processed foods make a point to use fruit as flavoring. Fruits are sweet and delicious, and of course have the healthy benefits of vitamins, water, and fiber. Fruits are also generally associated with helping to reduce the risks of cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Excellent tasting snacks are oranges, plums, kiwi, grapes, bananas, and pears.
