Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Dark brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 320 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Optional: Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If you're using optional ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week—if they last that long!
