Everyone loves cookies: plump cakey cookies, crisp cookies, chewy chocolate cookies, crumbly shortbread cookies. Creating your own personal cookie recipe sounds challenging, but once you understand the basics of a cookie recipe, you can change it around to your heart’s content to develop any type of cookie you desire.
Here are the basic ingredients needed for any cookie recipe:
1. FATS
The type and amount of fat in the cookie will determine what kind of shape it will ultimately have. In general, the more fat in a cookie, the flatter it will cook out and the less fat in a cookie, the more chewy and cake-like it will become when cooked. The type of fat used is also important in the ultimate texture of the cookie. Butter, margarine, and shortening are all common types of fat. Some cookies MUST be made with butter, such as a shortbread. Cookies made with butter will have that melt-in-your-mouth sort of consistency when placed in your mouth. Cookies prepared with margarine or shortening will be a bit more stable when cooked and will keep more of their original shape.
2. FLOUR
Some recipes call for all-purpose, some call for pastry flour. Knowing the amount of gluten needed for each cookie to develop properly is important. Bread flour and cake flour will both stand up to the intense heat of the oven and will result in cookies that maintain their original shape. A higher flour to liquid ratio will result in a crumbly, shortbread-like texture.
3. BAKING SODA/POWDER
These are the most common leaveners. Baking soda will result in a browner cookie in the oven, while baking powder will result in a puffier, lighter colored cookie.
4. SUGAR
A cookie made with white sugar will be crispier in texture, while a brown sugar cookie will remain moist and chewy since brown sugar continues to absorb moisture after cooking. Lower-sugar cookies will be puffier than a higher-sugar cookie.
5. EGGS/LIQUIDS
The liquid is the binding agent that holds all of the dry ingredients together. If egg is incorporated, this will help the cookie be more brown and crispy.
6. ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
You can add anything you like to your cookie recipe. Dried fruits, fresh fruit, oats, candy, chocolate, flavorings. Be creative! Combine interesting flavors and textures to make your cookie truly unique.
Cookies should be baked at 350%CB%9AF until golden brown and done.
