📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2
Whisk
3
In a bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Hand-whisk to combine well. Set aside.
4
Beat
5
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sliced/cold butter with paddle attachment on medium speed, ⏱️ 2 min. Use rubber spatula to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Add brown sugar and continue beating until smooth, ⏱️ 1 min. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed just until mixture is fully incorporated, scraping down sides.

Chill
7
Gently add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until no flour streaks remain and mixture is combined; don’t over mix. Use rubber spatula to fully scrape down sides/paddle.
8
Form a large dough ball with hands. If dough is somehow too sticky, cover and chill a bit until dough is manageable; this shouldn’t take long. Typically, no chill time is needed if kitchen temperature is cool and dough is not overworked.
9
Bake
10
Form 1 1/4 inch dough balls and place 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets. Bake about ⏱️ 8 minutes or just until golden; keep remaining dough chilled while in between batches. Cookies will seem under-baked, but will set upon cooling. Don’t over-bake. Let cookies cool ⏱️ 10 min on baking pan before transferring to wire rack to finish cooling.
