โฑ๏ธ These simple yet elegant treats come together quickly for perfect homemade cookies anytime you crave them.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 3 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

200 grams flour for structure

100 grams sugar for sweetness

2 eggs for binding

1 cup of milk for creaminess

2 tablespoons of flaxseed for binding

6 tablespoons of water

1 cup of almond milk for creaminess

gluten-free flour blend for structure

50 grams of sugar for low-calorie

low-fat milk for low-calorie

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your items and measure them out accurately to avoid any rush later. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius for even baking. This sets the stage for success and makes the rest of the process flow easily.

2-Second Step: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the 200 grams of flour and 100 grams of sugar until they are well blended. Use a whisk to break up any lumps and ensure an even mix, which helps the cookies bake uniformly. Take a moment to double-check your measurements for the best results.

3-Third Step: Add the Wet Ingredients: Crack the 2 eggs into the dry mix and pour in the 1 cup of milk, stirring gently at first to incorporate everything without overmixing. This step creates a smooth dough that’s easy to work with, so aim for a consistency that’s not too sticky. If needed, add a bit more flour to adjust.

4-Fourth Step: Shape and Bake the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, watching for that perfect golden color. This timing ensures they come out crisp on the outside and soft inside pure bliss!

5-Fifth Step: Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, serve them warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat. For added fun, why not decorate them with a sprinkle of sugar? Enjoy the fresh, buttery flavor right away or save some for later.

Notes

๐Ÿช For the best texture, use butter that’s softened but still cool – warm butter makes greasy cookies.
โฑ๏ธ Don’t overmix the dough once flour is added – this develops gluten and makes tough cookies.
๐ŸŒก Chilling the dough balls before baking helps them keep their shape and prevents spreading.
