Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
