Servings: 8
Calories: 219kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour heaping
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon corn starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter (unsalted), room temperature
- ½ cup sugar plus more for sprinkling
- 1 large egg(s)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking tray with parchment and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt.
- In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and ½ cup sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Scrape bowl as needed. Mix in the dry ingredients until incorporated.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto the lined sheet tray. (I use a ⅓-ounce scoop.) Use a damp palm to just slightly flatten the dough mounds, then sprinkle the tops with sugar.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until tops are set and edges are lightly browned.
