Ingredients

• 1 cup softened butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• as needed to frost icing

Method

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10x15-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar using a stand mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is airy and light, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cookie slab to cool completely in the pan.
7. Once cooled, carefully lift the cookie slab from the pan, frost it with your preferred icing, slice it into squares, and savor the deliciousness!
