Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Colored sugar or sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set it aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set it aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If desired, divide the dough into two portions and mix in a few drops of food coloring to create a fun color.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

If desired, decorate the cooled cookies with colored sugar or sprinkles.

Notes

Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.

Make sure to use room temperature butter for a smooth creaming process.

To ensure soft and chewy cookies, don’t overbake them.

The edges should be lightly golden brown, not dark brown.

If you’re using colored sugar or sprinkles, it’s best to decorate the cookies after they’ve cooled completely to prevent the colors from running.

For a fun twist, try adding a few drops of peppermint or almond extract to the dough for a unique flavor.

Remember to chill the dough if you’re not baking the cookies immediately.

This will help the flavors meld together and the cookies to retain their shape while baking.
