Slice and Bake Cookies

Jennie Duncan
Baking doesn’t get much easier than with these slice and bake cookies! They’re crispy on the bottom and chewy on the inside and you can forget the hassle of rolling and cutting when you can just slice and bake straight away!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Whip the butter in a large bowl then add the granulated and brown sugar and whip again until creamy.
  • Stir in the egg and vanilla just until combined then stir in the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap on a countertop or cutting board then turn the dough out on top.
  • Fold in the sides of the plastic and use your hands to start to form a log.
  • Tightly wrap in the side and the ends and roll until the log is fairly smooth.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 12x16-inch baking pans with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the dough and discard the plastic then slice the log into ¼-inch pieces.
  • Place 9 of them onto the pan, evenly spaced and bake for 10-12 mins or until the tops have dried out and the bottoms turn a light golden color.
  • While the cookies are baking, return the other cookies to the fridge until they are ready to bake so that they don’t melt.
  • Repeat the baking process with the remaining cookies then let them cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool fully. Serve with milk and enjoy.

Notes

Tip: If you wanted to add chocolate chips or M&M's to the dough now would be a good time to add them in before rolling.
