Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Rolling:
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat with granulated sugar.
- Bake: Place dough balls on the prepared sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underdone.
- Cool and Serve: Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for additional flavor and texture.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
