Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Lightly flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
