** For best results, measure ingredients with a scale. All recipes are designed with weighed ingredients using grams/ounces. Cup measurements are provided for your convenience. **
Chill each dough until cooled completely and form balls by hand (2 oz | 57 g | 4 Tbsp each).
Bake (Preheated) at 350 F | 176 C for 11 - 13 mins.
* Adjust the time and temperature accordingly.
* It's important not to over-bake them to enjoy the soft texture. Note that the cookies get firmer after they cool down.
* The dough spreads more in the oven when they are left at room temperature after forming the balls. Don’t wait too long if you want to avoid it.

Happy Holiday!! Which cookie was your favorite?😊 Make the double batch or more as you like for bigger cookie project!

[@fionahawke6134]

Chocolate chip for sure!

[@BlessedBeTheFroot]

Your filming and editing skills just get better and better. Also - watching your utterly adorable daughter eat what you bake at the end is my favourite part of the video :)

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you so much!! I'm slooowly learning😊

[@fionahawke6134]

I made these last weekend and am making more today. A new local butcher shop has asked for home baked goods from me as they want everything in their shop to be locally produced, and they hadn't found a baker yet! They loved the sample of these cookies I made (I did green velvet rather than red as red is the most common colour for allergic reaction), and these were their favourite! The double chocolate were a very close second.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I’m so glad!😊 Great job!

[@nikkinik35]

Hi Aya, I made all 4 cookies. Before seeing your video I didn’t know you could make multiple types of cookies from one dough. The red velvet is my favorite and chocolate chip my second favorite. Instead of drizzling the red velvet cookie with icing, I used white chocolate chips! Thank you for sharing this recipe… I got to have home baked cookies cookies on Christmas ❤️

[@polinanikitina396]

Made chocolate chip cookoes today - turned out great! Thank you for your recipes😊

I tried this yesterday. Sucess. Is delicious, easy to make, and the resulting amount is ideal for tea time with frinds... Or for you in multiple days. You can custom it, p.e., using aquafaba instead of eggs. Good recipe, and thanks for uploading it.

[@HNSCAPMCA]

I love your tutorials. I have made some of them, and they all turned out amazing, especially the New York Cheescake. I just have one question. How many hours do I need to keep the dough in the refrigerator or the freezer?

[@user-rd8me6pv5i]

Thank you❤️ I'm so glad you think so!

[@biljanapopovicdamyanov8889]

Hi lovely, what you think- it could be in the fridge before baking for two weeks or not.Thank you for your delicious recipes 👌✌️😃

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hi, if it’s more than 4-5 days, I would store the dough in the freezer. You can thaw it overnight in the fridge.

[@Ali-cu4lj]

😍😍looks so delicious Can you share brownies recipe?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'd love to!

[@Matt5.6]

Those look so tasty 😋. Tfs. God bless in Jesus name

[@angaeul29]

I'm planning to sell cookies, but I was wondering how long can we consume these cookies?

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Sorry I dont know if you mentioned it in the video but how many cookies does this make?

[@omaoma1111]

Mmmhhh😘

[@noura.darwish]

Thank you very much for the recipe.. How much time for the mini ones please?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I don’t remember completely but I think it was about 8 - 9 mins with the same temperature!

[@cdrkphoenix]

🤗🧡

[@janemiller2812]

Thank you for this recipe could you please tell me how to copy and paste so I can save your wonderful multi use recipe. Thank you. And happy holidays

On a computer, you can copy by pressing Shit + command + C at a same time and paste by pressing Shit + command + V at a same time. You can also find the printable recipe in my blog (a link in the description.)

[@bboychicken1992]

May I ask why you added oil to the dough?

[@ummihanaomar7498]

What type of oil do you use? Corn oil ? Olive oil?

[@aispryn]

How much would the cookies weigh before I bake them if I want to make them mini like yours? And do I bake them at the same temp with less time?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I baked them at 350 F for 6 mins. I can't remember the size exactly (I'm sorry!!) but I think it was about 1/4 of the regular size (about 1 Tbsp). Please check from 5 mins just in case.

[@aispryn]

@@PastryLivingwithAya ahh thank you so much! I’m sure these will be very delicious, as with all your recipes.☺️

[@paulaandrealeonmoncayo3802]

Que tipo de melasa es plis

[@deltatrotman6397]

Can freeze or keep in fridge for few days?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Freezer is better to keep it moist. Or it’s much better to chill the dough before baking it so you can keep the freshness more.

[@rebeccabeebe1]

How many days in advance can i make the cookie dough and store in the fridge before i bake them?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I would say 4 - 5 days!

[@sarahm4046]

Can you freeze the dough to be used for later?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Yes!

What kind of oil did you use?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I used olive oil but you can use any regular oil, such as canola oil, vegetable oil, etc.

[@ddream852]

May I ask why do we need to add oil to the dough? To loosen it a bit??

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

For that and to make it slightly more softer and moist. Flatten the dough ahead before baking when you are not adding it!

[@ddream852]

@@PastryLivingwithAya thank you!

[@Candykanelane99]

Hi, I think there is an error. 3 cups = 24oz not 13 oz. 1 cup is 8oz.. but love the video

[@kameahbenjamin178]

A common misconception. 1 cup is 8 *fluid* ounces, not ounces by weight. A cup of flour weighs less than a cup of water

[@Candykanelane99]

I made the dough with the oz . It wa super loose and did not look like the one in the video
