Making sweet discs

Baking cookies is the process of making cookies from scratch—mixing dough, shaping it, and cooking it in an oven.

The phrase often evokes domestic warmth and comfort: The house smelled like she'd been baking cookies all afternoon.

It can serve as shorthand for wholesome activity: I spent Sunday baking cookies with the kids.
