Servings: 24 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar, plus ¼ cup for rolling
- 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together on high for 3-4 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until just combined.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough. Roll into a ball and then roll in a small bowl with ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just starting to get color on them. They will look severely underdone, but they will continue to bake on the baking sheet.
- Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
