Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to create a slightly flattened disc.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake—the centers should remain soft for a chewy texture.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy as-is, or decorate with icing, sprinkles, or your choice of toppings!
