Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This creates a smooth base for your dough.
- Add the Egg: Crack in the egg and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the Flour: Gradually add the flour, stirring just until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix!
- Optional Add-ins: Fold in chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins.
- Shape and Bake: Roll dough into balls, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and flatten slightly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
