Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Electric mixer
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cookie scoop
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until they are light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt by whisking them together thoroughly.
- Slowly blend the dry mixture into the creamy mixture, stirring until they are just incorporated. If you choose to include them, gently stir the nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until you see the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
- After baking, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before moving them to a cooling rack where they can cool down completely.
Notes
- Nutty Delight: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty flavor and extra crunch.
- Chocolate Chip Twist: Mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips for a classic favorite.
- Festive Flavors: Incorporate cinnamon and nutmeg for a seasonal treat.
- Citrus Infusion: Add lemon or orange zest to the dough for a refreshing citrus note.
- Double Chocolate: Include cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips for a rich chocolate experience.
