Ingredients
Directions
10 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and fine salt.
3
In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened unsalted butter and 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar on medium-low speed for 4 minutes.
4
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixer bowl, mixing just until combined.
5
Gradually add the flour mixture into the mixer bowl, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6
Place the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl.
7
Shape the dough into balls, using a 1.5 tablespoon scoop, then roll them in the sugar and place on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8
Bake for 11-12 minutes until cookies just begin to brown at the edges, but the center is still soft. Don't overbake them.
9
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
