These easy and delectable drop cookie recipes will satisfy all your cravings for freshly baked cookies, and the best part is–all in under an hour!
Drop cookies are the easiest cookies to make.
Simply mix the dough, drop scoops on a cookie sheet, and bake until the edges are crisp and the middle chewy.
There are a few things to remember to create the perfect drop cookie.
First, you need to use quality ingredients to get the best results.
Next, you should chill your dough for at least half an hour before baking so you end up with perfectly shaped cookies, not spread out and flat.
You should also use a combination of brown and white sugar in your dough to get the soft and chewy centers with crispy edges for which these cookies are famous.
