Serving: Makes about 4 dozen cookies

These traditional cookies are packed with flavor and wholesome goodness. Add a handful of golden raisins or walnuts to the cookie dough if you fancy.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together with a handheld mixer until fluffy.
Add the egg and the vanilla and continue to beat well.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix with a wire whisk.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir well to combine.
Using a large spoon, take rounded tablespoons of the dough and drop onto an ungreased baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 9 minutes for a chewy cookie or for 11 minutes for a crispy cookie.
Remove the cookies and let rest for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
