Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chef's Tips:

• Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies
• Serve with a glass of milk for the perfect pairing
Food Safety:
