Basic Cookie Dough Recipe for 2 Servings
Now, let's dive into creating a simple yet delicious basic cookie dough recipe for 2 servings. With just a few staple ingredients and easy steps, you can whip up a batch of cookie dough perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts
- Sprinkles
- M&M's
- White chocolate chips
- Peanut butter chips
- Coconut flakes
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, the cookie dough is ready to use for baking. Alternatively, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Now if you want, scoop out the dough and roll it into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Bake in the 350°F (175°C) preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your freshly baked cookies!
- Ensure that the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture in the cookie dough recipe.
- Don't skip chilling the dough, as it helps the flavors meld together and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Experiment with different flavorings like almond extract or citrus zest for a unique twist on the classic cookie dough.
- If you're in a hurry, you can chill the dough in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes instead of the refrigerator for a quicker firming process.
