Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Butter softened
- White sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all necessary ingredients and preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the leavening agents.
- In a larger mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending until fully integrated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them approximately two inches apart.
- Place the sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the edges turn golden, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
