You can make Publix-style cookies at home by using a simple recipe that combines butter, sugars, flour, and a touch of vanilla.
To start, gather your ingredients: 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. You can also fold in chocolate chips or nuts if you like.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
