Expert Tips

  • I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your flour! It’s really easy to add too much flour if you use a measuring cup, giving you dry and crumbly cookies. Don’t have a kitchen scale? Make sure to use the scoop and level method to weigh your flour!
  • Don’t over-mix the dough once you’ve added the egg and then the dry ingredients. Mixing the dough too much can change the texture of the cookies. 
  • Bake the cookies one sheet at a time, this ensures the cookies will bake evenly. 
  • To get that bakery style look, gently scoot the cookies with a biscuit cutter or mug as soon as they come out of the oven. This will make them perfectly round.

Ingredients
 

  • ¾ cup (158 g) butter, softened , (regular or dairy free)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (105 g) light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • 2 cup + 2 tbsp (268 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined (do not over-mix!).
  • Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to make 1.5-2 tbsp sized balls and place them on the baking sheet around 3-4 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies (one sheet at a time for even baking) for 8-11 minutes. Remove them from the oven when the edges look set. They will look under-baked in the middle! Remove from the oven and leave them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Measuring Flour: Properly measure your flour using either a kitchen scale or by fluffing it up in the bag with a fork, then using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use the back of a butterknife to level it off (the is the scoop and level method)
Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.
