Daphne Oz Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted for a light, tender crumb)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (for leavening)
• ½ teaspoon baking powder (enhances rise and texture)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt (balances sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds warm, aromatic flavor)
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for subtle spice notes)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (for creamy richness)
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed (moistens and adds deep caramel notes)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (for crisp edges and sweetness)
• 2 large eggs (room temperature for smooth mixing)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (essential for flavor depth)
