Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making these cookies! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always love that moment when the oven warms up, filling my kitchen with a cozy vibe. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside. In a separate bowl, I cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using my electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. The mixture should smell absolutely divine at this point! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
