Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar, packed: 1/4 cup
- Egg: 1 large
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Step 6: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For maximum freshness, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- A quick zap in the microwave for 10-15 seconds will bring these back to their warm, comforting best.
- Serve these crave-worthy cookies with a steaming mug of coffee (naturally!) for the ultimate Gilmore Girls experience.
- To avoid tough cookies, be careful not to overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients – just until combined is perfect.
