Delicious fancy cookies recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups
  • Unsalted butter, softened: 1 cup (2 sticks)
  • Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
  • Brown sugar, packed: 3/4 cup
  • Large eggs: 2
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Step 6: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy for up to 5 days.
  • For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a cookie for about 10 seconds – but watch it carefully to avoid burning!
  • Serve these fancy cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra decadent dessert.
  • Chef's tip: Avoid overmixing the dough after adding the flour to ensure your cookies stay soft and tender.
