Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, adding 1 tablespoon of milk if the dough is too thick.

  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a cookie scoop to place dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
