  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

  11. Optional: Mix powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice to make a glaze and drizzle over cooled cookies.
