If you feel bored and want to make something in your kitchen, one thing you make that is quick and easy are cookies. To give you an idea, here are a few recipes that are worth baking.
The first thing you can make is peanut cookies. For that, you will need some flour, baking power, white and brown sugar, eggs mil, vegetable oil and of course, the peanuts.
While you are preparing the ingredients, you can already preheat the over to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit or 150 degrees Celsius. Now get a large bowl and then add all the other ingredients except the peanuts with a wooden spoon until you get a brown paste as a result.
Next, pour in the peanuts and mix this with the paste this time using your hands. Be sure you don’t overdo it because you don’t want the dough to become tough.
Now grab a small amount of dough and roll it into a small ball using your palm. After making one, do another until you are able to fill up the entire tray. Be sure to leave at least inch or two distance between each cookie so the dough can expand without compromising the nearby cookies while it is being cooked.
Once the tray is full, put it inside the oven and bake it for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove it after and then sprinkle some powdered sugar then let it cool for a while before serving.
Another quick and easy cookie recipe that is a favorite is chocolate chip cookies. Unlike the first recipe, you have to mix some ingredients in one bowl first before mixing it with the rest.
With a medium bowl, you mix flour, salt and baking soda. With a bigger bowl, you mix shortening, brown and white sugar as well as pure vanilla. Don’t forget to add some eggs and mix it until it is completely combined.
When this is ready, you mix the content of the medium bowl with those in the larger bowl until you have a moderately thick cookie dough.
Now scoop the dough into a small bowl and then put this on the tray. Make sure each ball is at least an inch apart and then let it bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. If after 8 minutes the cookies still look doughy, wait for two more minutes before bringing it out of the oven. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
The nice thing about making cookies is that if you are not able to finish everything in one session, you can always put the rest in a cookie jar. Just remember to finish it as soon as possible because it tastes different after several days.
If you are having a hard time removing the cookies from the wax paper or tin foil, it will be handy to have a spatula.

If you are too lazy to make cookies, go and buy some from the store. When you take a bite, ask yourself how they made it and then try to replicate it. This is the best way to learn from those who make millions selling cookies all over the country.
