Small Batch Chewy Sugar Cookies
These small batch chewy sugar cookies have a slightly crispy edge, and soft chewy center, with the best vanilla flavor. They're so simple to make, and perfect when you only want a few!
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoon salted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) vanilla bean paste or extract
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
- ⅔ cup (94 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar for rolling cookies in
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. You can also mix this by hand. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix again.
- Slowly mix in baking soda, salt and flour until combined.
- Scoop the dough into 4 large balls, and roll in extra sugar.
- Place 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. I like to sprinkle the cookies with extra sugar once I pull them out of the oven.

Notes
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
