Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (very soft, not melted) 4 ounces
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar 4.7 ounces
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2.3 ounces
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 7.5 ounces
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Use a fork to cream together the soft butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until completely combined and smooth. The butter should be soft enough to smush easily with a fork--but not melted.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mash in using the fork until mixture is smooth.
  • Add all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir gently with a large spoon (or fold with a large spatula) until just combined (don't overmix).
  • Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Use a #40 (1.5 tablespoon) scoop to scoop the cookies. Space them 2” apart on the parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the tops crackle and the edges are very lightly golden. Cookies will puff lightly and then settle down as they cool.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Notes To Make Ahead: If you want to make the dough in advance, you absolutely can. Prepare the dough and store in the fridge up to two days before baking. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes to soften slightly before baking.
How to Store the Cookies: Cool completely and store cookies in an air-tight container for 2-3 days or freeze for 1-2 months.
