Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup candy crystals or rock candy (variety of colors)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in Candy Crystals: Gently fold in the candy crystals or rock candy to incorporate the colorful, sparkling bits evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden, but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use candy crystals or rock candy with vibrant colors to achieve the geode effect.
  • Do not overbake cookies; centers should remain soft while edges turn golden.
  • Softened butter should be at room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crisp edges.
  • You can experiment with different candy colors or even edible glitter to enhance the geode look.
