Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I gather all my ingredients and get to creaming together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with my trusty electric mixer. I then add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, I sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, before gradually adding this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. As the dough comes together, my kitchen fills with that lovely sweet smell!
