Mommy's no fail every cookies

This is the perfect base for any type of add on cookies. If you can dream it you can bake it, from the classic chocolate chip, to candy corn! Yes we did in fact make candy corn cookies. This easy recipe will only take a few minutes to prepare then its up to you how you want to personalize them. I have made them at least 20 different ways and I'll give you an example of some after the recipe. I am also going to give you the 5 dozen and 10 dozen cookie recipes so you don't have to bother doing cookie math to figure it out. I highly recommend this recipe as one for baking with the kids, if you divide the recipe after its mixed up and let each child pick their own add-ins it can be a ton of fun.
