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!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Fine salt
• 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction:

1. Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
3. Beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld mixer) until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Scoop 12 heaping tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto each prepared baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls with slightly wet hands. Bake, rotating the cookie sheets from upper to lower racks halfway through, until golden but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes (the longer the cook time, the crunchier the cookies). Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
5. Let the baking sheets cool completely, scoop the remaining dough onto 1 sheet and bake. Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
