Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set those aside for now.
- Next, add the butter, vegetable shortening, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy – about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat until well combined.
- Portion out one tablespoon of the cookie dough mixture and roll it into a ball.
- Roll the ball into the confectioner’s sugar and place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets leaving two inches of space between each ball.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
- Once they’re baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Dust the tops of the cookies very liberally with the remaining confectioner’s sugar.
