Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups (344 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, very softened
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar, for rolling dough in
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 light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla, mixing on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined.
- Scoop the dough using a 2 tbsp cookie scoop and roll it into balls. Roll the dough balls in sugar.
- Place the 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. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough or use brown sugar for a slightly different texture.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week.
