Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct baking temperature for perfectly cooked cookies.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a good base for your cookie dough.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a uniform dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
- Shape dough on baking sheet: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, which indicates perfect doneness while maintaining softness.
- Cool the cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For even softer cookies, slightly underbake them and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness for several days.
- Substitute unsalted butter with salted butter but reduce added salt by half to maintain balance in flavor.
