Happy National Bake Cookies Day!
These foundation cookies are the basis of a great cookie, just like the College of Liberal Arts is the basis of a great education. Learn how to make them here! Recipe below.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (2 tsp. if you love the flavor of vanilla!)
2 cups total of your favorite cookie add-ins (chocolate chips, candy, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, crushed up Oreos, pretzels, caramel)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt to combine. When the mixture is light and fluffy, set aside.
With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla beating on medium until just combined.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter and sugar mixture. Thoroughly mix and remove the mixing bowl.
With a wooden spoon or strong handled rubber spatula, stir in a total of 2 cups of your favorite cookie add-ins. (We used dried cranberries and white chocolate chips to make a maroon and white polka-dot cookie.) Cover dough and allow it to rest in the fridge for two hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently roll one tablespoon of dough into a perfectly round ball. Repeat until you’ve filled a cookie sheet with dough balls spaced evenly apart with room for cookies to spread. Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly before removing from baking sheet.

Use These 7 Type's Of Seed's For Every Diseases Urdu Hindi || Urdu Lab
Use These 7 Type's Of Seed's For Every Diseases Urdu Hindi || Urdu Lab
You would be surprised to find out how much the addition of healthy seeds to your diet can benefit you. Small and mighty, seeds are packed with an abundance of nutrients and healthy fats. Just a sprinkle of these seven types of seeds is enough to improve your health.
FLAX SEEDS
Jam-packed with antioxidants, flax seeds are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. ALA can improve cardiovascular health and a study published in an international journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biochimie, revealed that ALA has the potential to lower the risk of stroke. Flax seeds also contain more lignans than any other plant foods. Lignan is a type of plant compound, which is believed to be able to fight cancer by preventing the growth of tumour cells. A popular way to consume flax seeds is to bake them into muffins or cookies. You can also go for healthier options like sprinkling them over your salads or fruits.
CHIA SEEDS
Often classified as a superfood, chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids to keep your cholesterol levels in check. And don’t underestimate these tiny seeds, they are able to absorb up to 10 times their weight in water. The high water content and fibre in chia seeds will also help you to feel full for longer. While chia seeds may not have much taste on their own, you can add a dash of it to your favourite fruits, smoothies, puddings (the possibilities are endless, really) to jazz up your foods and make them healthier. Find out how you can eat chia seeds in five different ways.
SESAME SEEDS
These crunchy seeds have a nutty aroma and are often found on bagels, hamburger buns and sushi rolls. While sesame seeds are not in the limelight as much as their counterparts, they are in no way inferior. They are nutrient-dense and contain a wide array of beneficial compounds like iron, zinc, copper and vitamins. According to a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2016, sesame seeds are able to increase the capacity of antioxidants and reduce oxidative stress markers among individuals.
SUNFLOWER SEEDS
For those who are allergic to nuts, sunflower seeds can be a good substitute. These crunchy and nutty seeds are versatile and can be easily added into foods like yogurt and salad. You can even have them on their own as a low-carb snack. Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, they are also good for your skin. A study by Texas A&M University found that dogs supplemented with sunflower seeds saw improvements in their skin and hair coat, and researchers believe that humans can reap the same benefits from the consumption of sunflower seeds. But be careful when you are picking out sunflower seeds as commercialised ones are usually heavily laden with sodium to enhance their flavours.
PUMPKIN SEEDS
Known as a rich source of magnesium, two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds contain about 25 per cent of the daily recommended dietary allowance. It is also exceptionally high in zinc to boost your body’s immune system. Pumpkin seeds are also said to be able to induce better sleep due to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan. A study published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience suggests that tryptophan consumed with carbohydrate is comparable to pharmaceutical grade tryptophan, which can help you fall asleep more quickly.
QUINOA
While quinoa often stands in for grains, it is in fact a type of seed. A popular superfood, its myriad health benefits like being rich in protein and antioxidants should come as no surprise. One of the reasons why it is a better alternative to white rice is its low glycemic index, meaning that it will not spike your blood sugar level quickly to stimulate hunger and contribute to weight gain. The versatility of quinoa also makes it easy to incorporate into your diet.
