Baking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the very softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed for 1-2 minutes until very light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until pale in color and very fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  • Scoop the dough with a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, and roll them into balls. Then roll the dough balls in sugar.
  • Place the cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball and form into a circle as best as you can.
  • Bake 6-8 cookies at a time.
  • Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes, then let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Then enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure butter is very softened before mixing.
