How to Make The Essential Chewy Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup light corn syrup until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Place ½ cup coarse sugar in a shallow dish.
- Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls. Roll each ball in the coarse sugar to coat.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden brown. The centers will still appear soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Avoid overbaking, as this will result in crunchy cookies.
