Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trust me, this makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Tip from me: let the butter sit out for about 30 minutes before starting.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in your chosen mix-ins. Now comes the fun part—get creative with nuts, dried fruits, or other flavorings.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Step back and admire your delicious creations before serving.
