How do you make your own cookies? please i need an answer from an expert. Thanks

This is my basic cookie recipe.
1 cup Butter (Softened)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 Egg (lightly beaten)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Almond extract
2 1/2 cups Flour
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and extracts. Stir in flour; mix well. Chill for several hours. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2 or 3 inch heart shaped cookie cutter or any other you have. Place on ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake at 375F for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy.

Good write up recipe.

Problem is how to but all those ingredients; they’re really scarce you know

@crazyman; They aren't. you can get them from any baker's shop around. and you can substitute margarine for the butter which is expensive. the only thing is you won't get the same flavor or texture. but you'll still get delicious cookies!

Here's another recipe; this one's for chocolate chip cookies.
1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

@cookie27, this method is in batter form and cookie cutter cannot be used. but i think someone can use piping bag instead of the spoon for a very good shape. but the problem with the piping bag is that those fruits in the mixture will block the mouth of piping nossel and wont come out fine. So what should i do if i really want to use piping bag? should i just mix and pipe it without those fruit in it and later use the fruit to decorate it before baking? Thanks.

I suppose you could try that, although you'd risk ruining the shape when you try to press the chips in after piping.

i wish i know how to bake, i love baked foods

@nelson, then be my guest.

@cookie27, i'v tried both methods they really came out fine. everyone was just asking how and i told them the recipe is secret. thanks to you cookie27 you are really an expert. i wish u could post me more of ur cookies recipe.
