The Best Soft and Chewy Vanilla Cookies (Better Than Store-Bought!)
Ingredients
- Butter: Make sure it's at room temperature - this is super important!
- Granulated sugar: Regular white sugar works perfectly
- Vanilla: I love using vanilla bean paste but vanilla extract works great too
- Egg: Just one at room temperature
- All-purpose flour: Nothing fancy needed here
- Salt: Don't skip this - it makes all the difference
- Baking soda: Check that expiration date!
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) - I always do this first so it's properly hot when we're ready
- Mix butter and sugar until they're fluffy (about 2-3 minutes)
- Add vanilla and egg
- Mix in dry ingredients until just combined
- Scoop, roll in sugar, and bake!
