Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with margarine if needed.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Sweetens and caramelizes during baking; use a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie version.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Adds depth of flavor and chewiness; light or dark can be used interchangeably.
  • 2 large eggs Binds the ingredients and adds moisture; can be replaced with 1/4 cup applesauce per egg for a vegan option.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Enhances sweetness and aroma; use pure vanilla for better flavor.
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure; substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps cookies rise; baking powder can be used as a substitute (3x amount needed).
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness; use sea salt for a more pronounced flavor.
Sweet Add-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Adds sweetness and rich chocolate flavor; swap with white chocolate or dark chocolate chips if desired.
