Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand for a consistent shape.
Step 8
Bake each tray in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 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 one week.
