Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour The foundation of your cookies; it gives them structure and chewiness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and gives them that soft, chewy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Adds extra lift for a tender crumb.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor profile and balances the sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened) Provides rich flavor and contributes to the cookies' softness.
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar Sweetens the cookies and helps create a slight crispness on the outer edges.
  • 1 piece egg Binds the ingredients together and adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses the cookies with a warm, aromatic flavor.
