THE CLASSICS
A freshly baked cookie, still warm from the oven, is perhaps
the most beloved sweet treat. Here are all the popular favorites,
from buttery shortbread and delicate madeleines to irresistible
chocolate chip cookies and crunchy anise biscotti. Perfect for an
afternoon pick-me-up or a late-night snack, these cookies can
only be improved on by a cup of hot tea or a glass of cold milk.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Have ready 2 ungreased baking
sheets. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt onto a
sheet of waxed paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the
butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the granulated and brown
sugars and continue beating until the mixture is no longer gritty
when rubbed between your finger and thumb. Add the egg and
vanilla and beat on low speed until blended, occasionally stopping
the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber
spatula as needed.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed
or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Add the chocolate
chips and the walnuts, if using, mixing or stirring just until blended.
With dampened hands, shape the dough into 1-inch (2.5-cm)
balls or drop by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheets,
spacing the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges, about
12 minutes. Let the cookies cool briefly on the pans on wire racks
before transferring them to the racks to cool completely.

MAKES ABOUT 4 DOZEN COOKIES
ABOUT CHIPS
To most people, the classic
chocolate chip cookie is
studded with semisweet
(plain) chocolate chips, but
your choice of chips is much
greater. Markets now carry
chips made of milk chocolate,
white chocolate, peanut butter,
and old-fashioned butterscotch.
You can also choose between
standard-sized chips, or
morsels, and mini chips that
are about half the size. Store
chips of any flavor in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place
to avoid bloom, a harmless
dusting of white that forms on
the surface of chocolate
when it has been exposed to
extreme temperatures.

Scotch Shortbread
Preheat the oven to 300F (150C). Have ready an ungreased
9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the
butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the confectioners sugar
and the / cup granulated sugar and continue beating until the
mixture is no longer gritty when rubbed between your finger and
thumb. Beat in the vanilla.
Sift the flour and salt together onto a sheet of waxed paper.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on
low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended.
Using floured fingertips, press the dough evenly into the pan.
Sprinkle evenly with the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
Bake the shortbread until the edges are golden, about 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately use a thin, sharp
knife to cut the shortbread into strips 3 inches by 1 inch (7.5 cm
by 2.5 cm). Use a toothpick or the tines of a fork to decorate the
shortbread with a pattern of dots. Let the strips cool in the pan on
a wire rack for 30 minutes before transferring them to the rack to
cool completely.
