Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Stir and Drop Sugar Cookies!
