Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This part is crucial because the cookies need a hot oven to get that perfect golden brown color. While the oven heats up, grab a mixing bowl and stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until it’s nice and fluffy. Sweet scents will start to fill your kitchen—trust me, you’ll want to dive right into this cookie dough! Now, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
