Chipless cookies are like classic chocolate chip cookies, except you get to skip the chocolate. Soft, buttery, and brown sugar forward. No chocolate, no mix-ins. Just the base cookie, baked as-is.
Whisk the flour and baking soda together in a small bowl and set it aside.
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars and the vanilla until everything’s smooth and creamy.
1 cup butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
2 large eggs
Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Don’t rush it. Just mix until the dough comes together.
Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and drop them straight onto an ungreased baking sheet. Leave at least 2-inches between cookies.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden. Let them sit for a couple of minutes on the pan before moving them to a rack to finish cooling.
