Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • Creamy and rich—this is your cookie’s flavor base. Want a dairy-free option? Use vegan butter.

1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • Sweet slightly crunchy, and the perfect touch of indulgence. You can swap this with coconut sugar or monk fruit for a lower glycemic version.

2 cups all-purpose flour

  • This gives your cookies structure and a soft tender crumb. For gluten-free diets, opt for 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Colored sprinkles for fun
  • Cinnamon for warmth
