Simple, buttery cookies with endless topping variations, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional coarse sugar for rolling
  • Add-ins as desired (e.g., chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, freeze-dried raspberries)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy.
  2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until incorporated.
  3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt on low speed until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in any desired add-ins.
  5. Roll the cookie dough into logs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Remove the chilled dough, slice into cookies, and place on baking sheets.
  8. If desired, roll edges in coarse sugar before baking.
  9. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps prevent excess spreading and maintains clean slices.
