Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar You can adjust the sweetness to your preference.
- 1 cup unsalted butter Make sure it's softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- 2 large eggs These will help bind the ingredients together.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp baking soda This helps the cookies rise.
- 0.5 tsp salt Enhances the flavors of the cookies.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. For freezing, allow cookies to cool completely before wrapping them in plastic wrap or placing them in a freezer-safe container.
Notes
For optimal freezing, ensure cookies are fully cooled and properly wrapped. They can last in the freezer for several months—perfect for stocking up!
