Baking Instructions for Secret Chocolate Chip Cookies
For Classic Easy-Bake Oven (Light Bulb Model)
- Grease and Flour the Pan: Lightly grease and flour the Easy-Bake Oven baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Dough Balls on Pan: Place a few dough balls on the prepared pan, ensuring they have enough space to spread while baking. You’ll need to bake in batches.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the Easy-Bake Oven for 10 minutes. Slide the pan into the oven and bake each batch for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
For Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven (Electric Model)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the Ultimate Oven for about 20 minutes. Grease and flour the baking pan.
- Bake and Cool: Arrange a few dough balls on the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Repeat until all dough balls are baked.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Tips and Tricks
- Mix it Up: Try adding a few sprinkles or mini M&Ms to the dough for a fun twist.
- Room Temperature Margarine: Make sure your margarine is soft but not melted for the best texture.
- For Soft Cookies: If you prefer softer cookies, check the cookies at the 9-minute mark to avoid overbaking.

the batter for this was excellent. all the kids commented that it tastes just like real chocolate cookie mix. i did have to add a bit more water to incorporate the flour.
the cookies were pretty good, but a bit too crunchy…could it be because i used real butter? next time i will try half butter/half shortening.
baking powder or baking soda??? i’m confused!!!
The ingredients call for Baking powder.
