Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
▢ 1 cup unsalted butter softened
▢ 1.5 cups light brown sugar packed
▢ 2 large eggs room temperature
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
▢ 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
▢ 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed light brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy your homemade cookies with a glass of milk for a comforting treat!
