Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Continue mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten the dough balls gently with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern if desired, or leave them as is for a rounded cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid over-baking to maintain a tender texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
