Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour You can substitute half with whole wheat for a healthier option.
  • 1 tsp baking soda Essential for cookie structure.

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature.
  • ¾ cup brown sugar Light brown adds caramel richness.
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar Adjust to taste if feeling cheeky.
