Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter two sticks
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2.5 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
  • Sugar to coat dough balls

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325º.
  • Cream butter and sugars. Mix in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix till incorporated.
  • Roll out rounded teaspoons of dough, then roll in sugar.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes, if you make slightly larger cookies, it may take up to 15 minutes. I like these slightly undercooked.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months. Just form the dough balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Pairing: Try pairing these cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
  • Flavor Variations: Consider adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a delightful crunch.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
  • Holiday Twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a seasonal flavor that’s perfect for the holidays.
