Print Recipe

These slice and bake cookies are customizable treats with a tender center and crisp edges, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional coarse sugar for rolling
  • Add-ins as desired (e.g., chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, freeze-dried raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the butter and sugars. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, measure the flour and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture until just combined.
  4. Fold in add-ins. Gently fold in any add-ins you like. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  5. Shape and chill. Roll the dough into logs, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 240 minutes until firm.
  6. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Slice and sugar. Slice the chilled logs into cookies and roll in coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
  9. Cool. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife chilled in cold water. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
