1 Cookie Dough, 3 Types of Cookies

Cookies are at the top of my cravings list. But most times I crave two or three different kinds of cookies at the same time! Do I want Chocolate Chip vs. Oatmeal Raisin? Why not both?! Even better, why not have another type of cookie?

Naturally, the only solution to my cookie conundrum was to create one cookie dough, divide it, and add the fillings or flavors I wanted - Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and Brown Sugar

There are so many variations that can be made with this dough, and everyone can find their favorite. Maybe you'll reach for a chocolate chip. Or an oatmeal raisin. Maybe you'll take a bite of everything and satisfy all your cookie cravings at once.
