Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar (granulated)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- Red Food Coloring (optional)
- Extra Granulated Sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt In a medium bowl. Place aside for later use.
- Cream butter and 1 cup of sugar in a larger bowl. Then add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add a few drops of red food colouring at a time until you achieve the desired colour, adjusting to your preference.
- Add around ½ to ¾ cup of the flour mixture at once, mixing it in until everything is well combined. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are fully mixed together.
- If you have parchment paper, place it on baking sheets without greasing them. Then, use a cookie scoop that measures about 1 ½ inches to scoop out the cookie dough. Roll the dough between your hands to form it into a ball shape.
- Take the ball of dough and roll it in additional granulated sugar, making sure to cover all sides of the dough with the sugar.
- Put the cookie dough balls on the baking sheets, making sure to leave approximately 3 inches of space between each ball.
- Take the bottom of a glass or measuring cup and gently press down on each ball of dough until it becomes approximately ⅓ inch thick or slightly thinner.
- Put the baking sheet with the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 13 minutes. Keep a close eye on them while they bake. The edges of the cookies should only just start to turn golden, and the centre may still appear slightly undercooked.
- Let the cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely on the rack.
