Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mix-ins of choice (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
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 flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in your chosen mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit) using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 9
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
