  3. Add in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

Notes

Use softened butter for the right texture. Chilling dough can help if it spreads too much while baking. Experiment with fruit toppings for variation.
