Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Beat the Butter: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Sugars: Gradually add in the powdered sugar and granulated sugar. Continue mixing until well combined and the mixture appears fluffy.

        Mix in Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

          Incorporate Flour: Slowly add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Take care not to over-mix; it should be soft but not sticky.

            Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Flatten Gently: With the back of a fork or your fingers, gently flatten each ball just a touch—it’s a delicate cookie, so be gentle!

                Bake: Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might still look soft, but they will hold their shape as they cool.

                  Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
