Just a few minutes to tea! The easiest cookie recipe…

1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare the Baking Sheet
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Cream the Butter & Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3️⃣ Mix in Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring just until combined.
4️⃣ Scoop & Shape the Cookies
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
For chewier cookies, chill the dough for 15–30 minutes before baking. (Optional but recommended!)
5️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
