The Ultimate Chewy Sugar Cookies

Delightful chewy sugar cookies with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  6. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each scoop.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and centers look set.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for best results.
