Give me a list of basic ingredients for baking cookies


assistant
To bake cookies you will need flour, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, baking powder, and if you want; you can add chocolate chips, cinnamon, walnuts, or macadamia nuts.  By combining the ingredients you will form a soft dough that you can scoop onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven until cooked thoroughly through.
