The Best Pure Vanilla Cookies
These pure vanilla cookies are buttery, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The combination of sugar and pure vanilla extract creates a sweet, aromatic flavor that lingers long after the last bite.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
