Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar

Notes

Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature. Make-ahead: You can chill the dough, covered, for up to 48 hours before baking; let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before scooping. Variations: Swap mini marshmallows for chopped marshmallows or add ½ cup toasted nuts. For a festive touch, drizzle cooled cookies with melted white chocolate.
