Equipment
- 1 Stand mixer/Hand mixer
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Medium-sized cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2-½ Cups All-purpose flour
- ½ Teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon Baking soda
- 1-¼ Cups Granulated sugar
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cup Unsalted butter
Topping
- ¼ Cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use parchment paper to line a cookie sheet. In a large bowl of the stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula. Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt (dry ingredients). Spoon the flour mixture into the wet ingredients at a low speed. Once the cookie dough is fully combined, use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough. Using your hands roll the sugar cookie dough into a ball.
- In a small bowl, add in the ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Drop your cookie dough ball into the granulated sugar. Roll it around gently until it is fully coated. Repeat this for all of your cookies.
- Place your cookies on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 10-13 minutes, taking them out when golden at the edges but still a tad undercooked-looking on top. Let the cookies sit on the hot baking sheet to cool. (about 15 minutes). Transfer cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling to room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- Try not to overmix the batter. You want a light and fluffy cookie.
- Parchment paper is the way to go for this recipe.
