Ingredients
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the cookie dough balls slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chocolate-strawberry twist, add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the dough.
- Add a few drops of strawberry extract for a more intense strawberry flavor.
- Experiment with different crumble toppings like graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers.
- To make a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
