You can bring in little hands if you’ve got willing young helpers around.

And now for your mix-ins! Whether you are feeling like classic chocolate chip cookies or want to explore different tastes and textures, this is where you can go wild.Fill your chosen mix-ins into the dough so that everything gets mixed together evenly.Then use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet pans, ensuring there is enough space between each cookie for spreading while they bake in the oven.In a few minutes, you will have golden brown cookies slightly crispy round the edges but still irresistibly soft inside them.
