  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

This recipe calls for ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, which means no last-minute grocery runs. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-in)

Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility—just like my mom’s magical can of tomatoes trick. There’s always room to adapt and make it your own.

Instructions

Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Remember, baking is as much about the process as it is about the end result. Enjoy the smell filling your kitchen, and the anticipation of that first bite.
