Servings: 32
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (354g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure, don't spoon and level)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter and sugar until well combined.
- Mix in egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
- Add in flour mixture and mix just until combined. If cookie dough seems very soft chill for 1 hour before proceeding so cookies spread less.
- Scoop dough out using a medium cookie scoop (or 1 1/2 Tbsp at a time, and roll into balls if not using a cookie scoop) and drop onto baking sheet, spacing them 2-inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven 9 - 11 minutes, they should appear slightly under-baked. If baking two batches at once then rotate pans halfway through baking.
- Cool on pan 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
