Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Additional granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the chilled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- As the cookies cool, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch or broil briefly in the oven.
- Let cool before enjoying.
Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for perfect texture. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
