2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baker's ammonia
1 cup unsalted butter, high-quality, cubed, and softened
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
additional topping, chocolate chips, whole almonds, or raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.

  • Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
