Ingredients

¾ cup butter or earth balance
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp vanilla
1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F, and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars, and vanilla, with a hand mixer on medium/high speed until light and pale in color.
One at a time, slowly mixes in the egg and yolk, until just combined.
Add the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Scoop the dough into “ping-pong” size balls, approximately 2 tbsp worth.
Roll the cookie dough balls out with your hand, until smooth.
Evenly space the cookie dough 2-3 inches apart onto the baking trays.
Bake for 11- 12 minutes, until slightly golden on the edges.
Allow to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Enjoy!!

Notes

Replace butter with earth balance.

Spice it up by adding your favorite chocolate bar chopped.

Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Allow to come to room temperature or warm in the microwave slightly to serve.

Serve with your favorite milk or plant-based milk- adding vanilla for an extra touch!

Have fun with it!
