What is the easiest cookie recipe?

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 1 cup granulated sugar

* 1 egg

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.

7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

* Use room temperature butter for the best texture.

* Don't overmix the dough. This will result in tough cookies.

* For chewy cookies, bake for a shorter time.

* For crispy cookies, bake for a longer time.

* Add your favorite mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
