Nutrition Facts: calories 90 kcal, Carbohydrate 10 g, Protein 1 g, Fat 5 g, Saturated Fat 3 g, Cholesterol 14 mg, Sodium 1 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 4 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (, room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup + 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (, divided)
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (, spooned and leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla ((optional, but recommended))
  • rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils ((optional, but recommended))

Instruction:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat together butter and 2/3 cup sugar until combined. (It will be a little gritty – that’s ok.)
  3. Add in flour and blend well (then blend in the vanilla, if using.)
  4. Using a cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Gently roll the balls in the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar until lightly coated; transfer to the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  6. With the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press down on the balls to flatten. Sprinkle with some nonpareils (if using) and lightly press down again just so they stick. (The dough should end up being between an 1/8-1/4 inch thick, so 3/16 to be exact. They will look pretty small in circumference, but they will spread a bit to a normal size cookie.)
  7. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just slightly golden around the edges and on the bottom.
  8. Remove form the oven and let rest on the baking sheets for at least 10-15 minutes (don’t skip this step!) Then eat or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy!

What makes cookies chewy vs hard?

Well, the long and short answer to chewy cookies is it’s all about the moisture content. Cookies that are dense and chewy incorporate more moisture into the batter. This can be achieved by making substitutions with wet and dry ingredients, or even just changing the way you incorporate certain ingredients.

What makes cookies fluffy vs flat?

Room temperature butter is just the right consistency to incorporate air when it’s creamed with sugar. These trapped air pockets result in risen, fluffy cookies. If the butter is any warmer, it won’t incorporate enough air and your cookies will have less rise.

What makes cookies taste the best?

The best cookies have layers of texture. A slightly crisp outer shell that holds up to some heat with an inner core that’s soft and chewy. Premium cookies taste great at room temperature, straight out of the fridge or slightly heated. Creating cookies in small batches is key.
