Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in your choice of mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
