4 Unique Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix-Ins You Need to Try

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Villanova chapter.

The classic chocolate cookie is heavenly, don’t get me wrong. As any college student knows, this is a time in our lives to try new things- so why not start with a unique spin on the original dessert? Break out of your comfort zone in the kitchen rather than at a frat party. A pinch of cayenne can’t hurt.

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat together the softened butter and sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt gradually. This is your base. Divide dough into four to make the recipe with the listed proportions.
