Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric hand mixer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 1 large EGG
  • 2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps your kitchen work very organized.
  • Place the soft butter in your large bowl. Add the granulated sugar to the butter. Beat them together until the mix looks fluffy.
  • Crack the egg into the buttery mixture. Add the vanilla extract to the bowl too. Mix well until everything is combined and smooth.
  • Slowly add the flour to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a large spoon or mixer. Stop mixing once the flour is just gone.
  • Scoop small balls of dough onto the tray. Space them two inches apart on the sheet. Bake for ten to twelve minutes until golden.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for the best texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding flour.
  • Check the oven early to prevent burnt edges.
  • Let cookies sit on the tray for five minutes.
  • Always measure your flour using a flat spoon.
  • Use fresh eggs for a better rise and flavor.
