- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk

- 2 1/3 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a small pot, add 1/2 cup of butter (1 cube). Melt over medium heat. Once it is melted, let it bubble for 2 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat.
- In mixing bowl, add remaining 1/2 cup of softened butter, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix together for 4-5 minutes until smooth and glossy.
- Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cover and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add 1/2 cup of sugar or brown sugar to a bowl. Roll the cookie dough into golf ball sized balls. Roll into sugar and place on a light colored baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure you don't overbake the cookies.

Notes
- The cookies may look slightly underbaked but they will continue to firm up once you remove them from the oven. It is better to underbake rather than overbake!
- You can use golden brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar if you prefer. The cookies will have a lighter color but will still taste delicious!
- I always suggest a light-colored baking sheet since dark baking sheets can attract too much heat to the bottom of the cookies and they end up too brown.
