How to Make Amazingly Easy Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in ½ cup of your favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.).
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
