Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create uniform thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest mixture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies instead of tender ones.
- Use a cookie scoop for consistently sized cookies that bake evenly.
- For extra-soft cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
- If you want to add some visual flair, consider rolling the cookie balls in granulated sugar before baking for a sparkling finish.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- These cookies freeze beautifully - store in an airtight container for up to 3 months for a quick treat anytime!
