Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the self-raising flour and plain flour gradually, mixing until well combined.
4. Stir in the salt until evenly distributed.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
