Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating again until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking. Add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or spices (such as cinnamon or nutmeg) can enhance the taste. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
