Equipment
- Handheld or Standing Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (dairy free or regular), softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2½ cup all-purpose flour SEE NOTES
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugar, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined and light in colour.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Do not over-mix!
- Use a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop 1.5 tablespoon sized balls onto the baking sheets. Be sure to leave at least 4-5 inches between each ball of dough, as the cookies will spread out. If you'd like to roll the dough in sugar before baking, pour a little bit of sugar into a small bowl and roll the dough in it before placing it on the tray.
- Bake one tray at a time for 8-11 minutes, until edges look set. The middles will look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
FLOUR: It is very important that you measure your flour properly! The right way to measure your flour is to weigh it, or use the scoop and level method.
EGG REPLACER: To make these vegan, replace the egg with one flax egg.
