  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Decorate the cookie dough with candies or sprinkles as desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are golden.

Notes

Watch the baking time carefully to ensure cookies remain soft, and chill dough if it’s too warm to scoop.
