Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use real vanilla extract for best flavor.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
