Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
Serving
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.
