Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies don’t stick.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and continue to beat until well combined.

        Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until the dough comes together. It will be soft but should not stick excessively to your hands.

          Form the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the tops with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.

            Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just slightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

              Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
