Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonful's of dough onto the prepared baking trays. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centres are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
