What Are The Ingredients?
-
- All-purpose flour:Â Flour gives the cookies structure, crumb, and chewy texture. I use all-purpose flour for this recipe since it is the most versatile.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Unsalted butter: besides the rich flavor the butter offers, the more fat you add to recipes, the more tender the cookie’s texture becomes. I use unsalted butter for this recipe to better control the salt level.
- Granulate sugar: sugar influence structure, chew, and moisture level; for this recipe, we use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Brown sugar:Â brown sugar brings moisture and is chewy to the cookie’s texture.
- Egg: Eggs are essential in any cookie recipe; they bind ingredients together. I use Pasture Raise Organic eggs whenever I can. But you can use any brand of whole egg you prefer.
- Vanilla extract for flavoring
- Old-fashioned rolled oats are best in cookie recipes thanks to their toasty flavor and hearty chew.
- Guava paste
