Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Once the dough comes together, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dough to firm up.
After chilling, the dough is ready to be used for baking cookies or eaten as chewy sugar cookie dough.
