- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Notes
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Make-Ahead: You can scoop and freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes. Variations: Try using dark chocolate chips or adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. For a different twist, substitute 1/2 cup of the pretzels with butterscotch chips.
