Add the brown sugar, all but 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and egg; whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of the baking powder (you will have extra). Using a spatula, gently mix just until incorporated (be careful not to overmix). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate 1 hour, or until firm.

Toss to thoroughly coat. Transfer to the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining dough, evenly spacing out the cookies on the sheet pan.
