Homemade Cookie Recipe: Easy & Delicious Cookies in Minutes

There's something incredibly satisfying about baking your own cookies — the aroma, the warmth, and of course, the taste. This easy homemade cookie recipe is perfect for anyone looking to whip up a quick batch of around 15 cookies using simple pantry ingredients.

Once baked and cooled, ensure your cookies stay fresh and presentable by wrapping them in Foodwrap — a high-quality, greaseproof paper that helps keep the cookies moisture-free and crumb-free. Foodwrap is microwave-safe and food-grade, making it safe to reheat your cookies without removing the wrap.

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp ghee (60 gm) OR soft salted butter
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (30 gm)
• 9 tbsp all-purpose flour (80 gm)
• Pinch of salt, only if using ghee
• Flavorings of your choice: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, roasted cumin seeds, etc.

Instructions

1. Creaming: In a mixing bowl, cream together the ghee (or butter) and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, mixing well until a soft dough forms.
3. Flavor Time! Choose your flavorings — chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruits, or roasted cumin seeds for a savory twist.
4. Chilling Out: Flatten the dough slightly and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours.
5. Preheat Party: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
6. Shape Up! Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes.
7. Bake Time! Transfer the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Cool Down and Enjoy! Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
