🛒 Ingredients
For the Main Mixture
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup softened butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Additions
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for finishing
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.
- Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Leave a little space between each piece.
- Bake for approximately 10–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes before serving.
🍪 Method
The key is to avoid overmixing once the flour has been added. This keeps the finished treats tender instead of dense.
For an extra delicious result, add chocolate chips before baking. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top for a warm, comforting flavor.
Keep an eye on the oven during the final few minutes. The treats should be lightly golden around the edges while remaining soft in the center.
