Instructions

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Parchment paper prevents cookies from sticking.

Cream margarine and sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the Becel margarine, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Pro tip: Ensure margarine is softened for easier mixing.

Add eggs and vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Mix dry ingredients

In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing well.

Pro tip: Mix just until combined to avoid tough cookies.

Fold in add-ins

Fold in your choice of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.

Pro tip: Customize your cookies with your favourite add-ins.

Chill the dough

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavour and texture.

Pro tip: Chilling helps prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Shape cookies

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Pro tip: Use a cookie scoop for evenly-sized cookies.

Bake cookies

Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Pro tip: Cookies may appear slightly underbaked in the centre; they will firm up as they cool.

Cool cookies

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on the sheet helps them set properly.
