Prepare the ingredients

Gather 1 box of your favorite Pop-Tarts, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar (packed), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This might take a few minutes, but the creamy texture is totally worth the effort!

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, making sure to mix well until everything is incorporated. This will give your cookies that extra oomph of flavor.

Combine the dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Once well combined, gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix and lose that chewy texture.
