Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Colored sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla extract.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Storage & Reheating

To keep your cookies fresh for as long as possible, be sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature. When reheating, simply microwave for 10-15 seconds or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes.
