Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that everything is ready for a seamless baking experience.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution and to eliminate any lumps.
- Cream the Butter: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Mix until it is evenly incorporated into the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Using a spoon, drop dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.
- Ensure your butter and vanilla are fresh for the best flavor.
- Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid them becoming too hard; they should be golden at the edges but soft in the center.
- Feel free to play around with different extracts like almond or lemon for a unique twist.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
