First, to make bra cookies, you will need the following ingredients: 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 cup of unsalted butter at room temperature, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of packed light-brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and two large eggs. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. In a separate large bowl using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed beat together the butter and sugars until smooth. Add in the salt and mix until combined. Then add in the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed. Gradually add in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Finally using your hands roll about two tablespoons of dough into balls for each cookie. Press three chocolate chips into each ball arranged in a triangle shape to resemble a bra silhouette Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
A common misconception is that making bra cookies requires expensive tools or hard-to-find ingredients when in reality it can be made with simple kitchen tools and basic pantry items. The actual truth is that anyone can make these fun and delicious treats with just a few easy steps.
A less-known fact is that you can also use different types of chocolate chips such as white chocolate or peanut butter flavored chips to customize the look and taste of your bra cookies. Knowing this information is useful because it allows you to get creative with your baking and create unique designs that suit your personal taste preferences.
Now that you have learned how to make bra cookies, I recommend trying out different shapes and decorations to customize them even further. Get creative with colors by adding food coloring to your cookie dough or using icing to decorate once they’re finished baking. Enjoy experimenting with this fun recipe!
