2 3/4cupsall purpose flour,spooned and leveled, up to 3 cups
1tsp baking soda
1/2 tspbaking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until they come together, and then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the egg and the extracts.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a whisk. Add the dry ingredients 1 cup at a time to the butter mixture, gently mixing after each addition. The dough will be very thick and should be easy to roll with your hands.
Using a measuring spoon or cookie dough scoop, roll the dough into balls and then roll in sugar or sprinkles. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes. I bake mine for 8 minutes to avoid browning.
Let stand for a few minutes and then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Underbake the cookies for the perfect chewy texture.
You may have to add more flour for the dough to be the right texture to roll. Try adding a tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough is just dry enough to be able to roll into balls.
