Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams packed light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 325 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a soft texture.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy your buttery drop cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
