🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Fold in your choice of mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices) with a spatula until evenly distributed.

7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.

9. 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.

10. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
