Easy cookies for beginner bakers
Approachable drop cookies and simple flourless bakes, plus the basics that make your first batch easier.
Before you start
Read the whole recipe before starting, measure ingredients first, and preheat your oven. Use the middle rack unless the recipe says otherwise. A timer is a reminder to look: browned edges and the center texture are better clues than time alone.
Start with one tray, evenly sized portions, and enough space for the dough to spread.
