Ingredients
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. 6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. 7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
8. 8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, bake for the shorter end of the time range. For crispier cookies, bake for the longer end. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
