Ingredients

  • 1 cup (222g) salted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups (288g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp butter flavoring
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 2 1/2 cups (380g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. This will take about 2 minutes.

    2 1/2 cups (380g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Divide the dough into 3 Tbsp portions and roll into a ball and arrange on the prepared cookie sheet. (I use my #24 cookie scoop)!
  • Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12-14 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan and enjoy!
