What type of cookie is the easiest to bake?

All cookies are really easy to make, but the really simple ones might be ones that have an extra simple recipe, such as pre-made cookie dough from the store.  There are also different types of cookies, and some require extra steps.  For example, sugar cookies often require a lot of time for preparation and cleaning up.  Butter cookies are often more time-consuming but have a delicious buttery taste.  Chocolate chip cookies can also be good and are quite easy to make.

The best type of cookie for a beginner is a “drop cookie”, which is also the most common type of cookie you’ll find at grocery stores.  If you want to make these, your recipe is relatively simple:

3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (or a butter substitute like margarine)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or candy

1. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour with a hand mixer.
2. Add the salt, baking soda, and butter (or margarine), and mix with a hand mixer until the dough is no longer sticky.
3. Add the candy and mix.
4. Scoop out your cookie dough using an ice-cream scooper and shape the balls into small cookies.  Put the cookies on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper
