Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt enhances the flavors
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Soften the butter to room temperature. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
Bake and Cool
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store and Enjoy
- Once completely cool, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for firmer cookies.
- Experiment with different shapes using cookie cutters.
- If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for a few minutes longer.
