Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 unit large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups desired mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in your desired mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your customizable cookies!
