Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Egg and Vanilla

    Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Add-ins

Baking

  1. 7

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 8

    Form Cookies

    Using a cookie press or a spoon, place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  3. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  4. 10

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
