Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp coarse kosher sea salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a hand-held mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter. Mix on low for 1 minute until smooth. Add brown sugar and mix on medium until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract, mix on low until combined.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, mix until combined.
  • Using a standard size cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll into smooth balls using your hands. Roll each cookie in granulated sugar, then place 12 cookies onto the prepared sheet.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes or until set. The centers will be very soft but will set as they cool. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Bake remaining dough as instructed.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
