  4. Mix in your egg and vanilla extract, blending until creamy.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet, being careful not to overmix.

  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill your dough for about 30 minutes for better flavor. You can experiment with sugars, types of chocolate, and mix-ins for variations.
