Preparation Steps

  3. Gradually add both sugars and mix until fully combined. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mix until just combined.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much, ensuring a thicker texture. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
