How to Make Everything Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 5 cups of your favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, sprinkles, etc.). Gently fold them in to avoid crushing.
  6. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the type of mix-ins used.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
