Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar for 2-3 minutes until fully combined. Add in egg yolks and vanilla extract, beat until fluffy.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. The mixture will be crumbly, continue beating until a cookie dough ball forms. Stop mixing at this point.
  4. Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven. Lightly tap the tops of each cookie with a spatula. Let cool on pans for a few minutes, then cool completely on a wire cooling rack.

Notes

  • Save the eggs whites to make meringue cookies or egg white omelettes!

  • Freeze cookie dough or baked and cooled cookies in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
