Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

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

Baking

Prepare Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal of cookies.

Scoop and Shape Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.

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