Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add egg and mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds. Beat in vanilla.

Step 5

Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.

Step 6

Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 TBSP cookie scoop for these. Roll in sugar.

Step 7

Place 6-8 cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes. You're looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges, and some crackling along the top. Be careful not to over bake, or you will lose the chewy factor we are going for.
