Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually sift in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the dough.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart, then flatten slightly.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown at the edges and slightly soft in the center.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
