Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips for an even bake.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes, then transfer 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 them for longer storage.
