Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Combining Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
If desired, sprinkle a little granulated sugar or colored sprinkles on top of each cookie before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
