Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Butter, softened to Room Temperature (Sweet Cream, Salted)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour

Add-ons

  • 1 Bag Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips
  • Orange Food Coloring
  • Brown Food Coloring

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring the sugars are well incorporated.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the two eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until the batter is fluffy and homogeneous.
  3. Incorporate Leavening and Salt: Add the baking soda and salt to the mixture and blend thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour a little at a time, mixing continuously until the dough is fully incorporated and forms a smooth consistency.
  5. Divide and Color Dough: Separate the cookie dough into three equal portions. Use orange food coloring to dye one portion, brown food coloring for another, and leave the third portion white.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Mix a generous amount of Nestle Toll House chocolate chips into each portion of dough, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Form Cookies: Take a 2-ounce ball of dough, combining equal parts of orange, brown, and white dough to create a marbled effect. Slightly press the ball down onto a prepared cookie sheet to flatten slightly.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant and concentrated colors without changing the dough’s consistency.
  • If desired, chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to make handling easier and prevent spreading during baking.
  • Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven’s calibration and cookie size, watching for golden edges.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
  • For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans in addition to chocolate chips.
