Description

Delightful cookies that blend rich butter with a hint of salt for a sweet and savory treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the butter mixture and mix gently until just combined.
  4. Shape the dough into small balls, place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart, flatten slightly, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden, then cool on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
