- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
Additional Ingredients
- 1 Bag Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips

Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixer, beat the softened butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the dough is light and fluffy, ensuring proper incorporation of ingredients.
- Incorporate Baking Soda and Salt: Mix in the baking soda and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning throughout the dough.
- Add Flour Gradually: Slowly add the all-purpose flour a little at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is fully combined and smooth.
- Divide Dough: Separate the cookie dough evenly into three portions to prepare for coloring.
- Color Dough Portions: Use Wilton Color Right Food Coloring to tint each dough portion with yellow, pink, and green colors respectively.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold chocolate chips evenly into each colored dough portion, ensuring chocolate is well distributed.
- Form Cookie Balls: Combine small portions of each color dough to create a single 2-ounce cookie ball that shows the marble effect.
- Shape Cookies: Slightly press each cookie ball down on an ungreased cookie sheet to prepare for baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the cookie sheet in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter for easier creaming.
- Make sure to not overbake; cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without affecting dough consistency.
- Chilling the dough before baking can help maintain shape and enhance flavor.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
