Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup sugar Can substitute with brown sugar for a unique flavor.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all your ingredients and measuring tools.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a mixer.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts into the dough.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  9. Allow treats to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
