Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), divided
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ⅔ cups packed dark brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp cornstarch
- ⅔ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a skillet, melt 1 stick of butter on medium heat. Once melted, stir constantly with a rubber spatula until golden brown. Then, immediately pour into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 stick of butter. Stir until the butter melts. Whisk in brown sugar until smooth. Then, add an egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Sprinkle the dry ingredients over this mixture. Stir using a rubber spatula until combined and no flour lumps remain. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Scoop about 2 tbsp of the dough and roll into a ball. Then, roll into granulated sugar. Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets leaving at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet. Then, transfer to the cooling rack.
