Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter and shortening with both sugars (with the paddle attachment) on medium to high speed until light & fluffy, this will take 3-5 minutes
Combine the eggs with the vanilla extract then add slowly to the creaming butter mixture, be sure to scrape the bottom & sides of the bowl after each addition to ensure an even mix.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder & salt all at once and mix until it comes together
Scoop the dough with a 2 ounce cookie scoop onto parchment lined sheet pans spaced 2" apart then place them in the freezer while you preheat the oven to 350°F
Once the oven has come up to temperature, take the cookies out of the freezer and drop them into your choice of topping (see video for how to do this efficiently) flattening them slightly
Then place back onto the sheet pan and bake immediately for approximately 18-22 minutes or until they are just starting to get golden browned around the edges
Notes
Baked Cookies can be stored for up to 10 days in an aritight container at room temperature.
