Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape, approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Wrap the dough logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.

Step 8

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 9

Unwrap a dough log and use a sharp knife to slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 11

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining dough log or save it in the refrigerator for later use (up to 1 week).
