Quick tip for Cookies

If you would like to make cookies, but don't have the time for the full process, purchase some ready-made cookie-dough from the store and jazz it up at home! You can add extras like chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, candy pieces, raisins, dried cranberries, dried fruit (cut up into small pieces), chopped nuts, and even shredded coconut. And remember, you don't have to start with plain old sugar cookie...you can start with something like oatmeal cranberry or chocolate chip! The possibilities are endless and the outcome is delicious!

Dough in the tub: when you scoop out the dough for your balls, add extras to the dough in your hand, while you are shaping it into the balls and then place on the cookie sheet to bake.

Dough in the tube: slice your dough and then push or mix your extras into it before putting it on the cookie sheet to bake.

Dough in break-away squares: place your squares on the cookie sheet and then push your extras into the tops of the squares before baking.
