Fabulous & Super Easy Cookies

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10–12 mins
Makes: ~24 cookies

Ingredients

200g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) butter, softened

1 cup (200g) sugar (white or brown for a richer taste)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking powder

1 pinch salt

½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional, or nuts, dried fruit, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream butter & sugar – In a bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add egg & vanilla – Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.

Dry ingredients – Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).

Fold in chocolate chips (if using).

Scoop & shape – Roll dough into 1-inch balls (or use a spoon) and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

Butter should be soft but not melted for the best texture.

Chill dough for 30 mins if it’s too soft (optional, but helps prevent spreading).

For chewier cookies, use brown sugar instead of white.

Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty kick!

Enjoy your fabulously easy cookies! Would you like any variations (like adding oats, cinnamon, or peanut butter)?

How to Store Your Fabulous & Super Easy Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh and delicious, follow these storage tips:

At Room Temperature (Best for 3–4 Days)

Let cookies cool completely before storing.

Place in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.

Add a slice of bread (to maintain softness) or a terra cotta cookie saver (to prevent sogginess).

In the Fridge (Up to 1 Week)

Store in a sealed container if your kitchen is humid.

Good for cookies with perishable add-ins (like cream cheese or fresh fruit).

Freezing (Up to 3 Months!)

Freeze Baked Cookies:

Cool completely, then place in a freezer-safe bag/container with parchment between layers.

Thaw at room temp (~15 mins) or warm in the microwave (10 secs).

Freeze Cookie Dough:

Roll dough into balls and freeze on a tray.

Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag.

Bake straight from frozen—just add 1–2 extra minutes to baking time!

Pro Tip:

Revive stale cookies by microwaving for 5–10 seconds or warming in a 160°C (325°F) oven for 2–3 minutes.

Enjoy your cookies fresh or stored—they’ll stay fabulous either way!
