This recipe has been updated from when I first published it. I have added new photos and a video! I changed the granulated sugar I initially used for light brown sugar. You could still use granulated sugar - I used brown sugar for the hint of brown color it gives to the cookies which I love. Every other ingredient remains the same. I have also rewritten portions of the recipe for clarity. Hope you continue to enjoy this recipe!

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup flour (125g)

Do I need to.freeze the dough before baking
No, you don't.
I made these and they turned out spongey like cake. I thought I was doing something wrong so my mom followed the recipe as well and they turned out the same. It tasted good but I’m just confused as to what we did wrong. Should it have been baking powder and not baking soda ? No clue lol. Anyway it was still delicious!
These did not turn out well for me either! Texture was weird but they did taste good. Something missing or off?
