Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s kick things off by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a medium bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate, larger bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This can take about 3-5 minutes. As the mixture starts to come together, add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in that lovely vanilla extract. Now, gradually add in your dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix! You want your cookies to stay tender and soft. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
