Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use a hand or stand mixer for best results.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Unwrap the chilled dough logs and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Place the slices about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
