Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may seem slightly underbaked in the center, but they will continue to set as they cool.
8. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These “Cookies For Autism” are not only a sweet treat for your taste buds but also a way to spread awareness and support for individuals with autism. Be sure to enjoy these cookies with your loved ones and share the message of understanding and acceptance that they represent. Together, we can make a difference, one delicious cookie at a time.
