Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving or using them as a crust for desserts.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
