  1. 1/2 cup (113 g)butter
  2. 1/3 cup+ 1 tablespoon (85g) granulated sugar
  3. 1/3 cup (71 g)brown sugar, light or dark, packed
  4. 1/2 teaspoonsalt
  5. 1 teaspoonvanilla
  6. 1/4 teaspoonbaking soda
  7. 1/2 teaspoonbaking powder
  8. 1large egg

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment.

  2. 2

    Beat together the butter, sugars, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda till well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the egg, beating till smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and beat again till smooth.Add the flour, mixing it in completely.

  4. 4

    Drop the cookies by the traditional "tablespoonful" (actually about 4 measuring teaspoons) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2" apart. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.

  5. 5

    Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes (or up to 16 minutes; ovens may vary). The cookies should be a light golden brown, and a bit darker around the edges. For softer cookies, bake the shorter amount of time; for crunchy cookies, bake longer.

  6. 6

    Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool right on the baking sheets.
