To make cookies, you will need ingredients like sugar, butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips or nuts. You will also require kitchen tools such as measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, spoon, and cookie sheet. The instructions are to cream the butter and sugars, then mix in the remaining wet and dry ingredients. Form the dough into logs, chill, slice, and bake until lightly browned for 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying.
