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.
