Basic Cookie Dough

2 cups Butter or hard margarine;
1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
4 1/2 cups Flour

Instructions:

In large bowl with mixer, beat all ingredients except flour until fluffy. With mixer on low, gradually beat in flour just until blended. This dough will make 8 cookie variations (148 cookies!). To make all 8 kinds, follow these dividing directions: Vanilla Dough: Take half of dough and divide half into quarters. Roll one quarter into ball, flatten slightly, wrap and refrigerate. Keep three of the quarters out to work with after preparing chocolate dough.

Chocolate Dough: To dough left in mixer, mix in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Divide chocolate dough into quarters. Keep 3 pieces at room temp, ready to shape.

Chocolate-Coffee Dough: To remaining quarter, add 2 tsps instant coffee powder and mix well. Flatten slightly, wrap and refrigerate. Keep three remaining quarters out.

Dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
