No Chill Small Batch Sugar Cookies
I'm here to prove to you that sugar cookies don't have to be flavorless and boring. These small batch sugar cookies are super chewy, buttery, and have a nice pop of vanilla bean. Even better, they're made with melted butter so you don't even need a mixer. Just whisk, scoop, & bake for 6 amazing cookies!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 2
Combine the cooled, melted butter and 66 grams (⅓ cup) of granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture is thick and lightened in color, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla bean paste or extract until smooth.
- Step 3
Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and Kosher salt to the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold the cookie dough just until it comes together and there are no more streaks of flour. The dough will be a little soft.
- Step 4
Add the remaining 24 grams (2 tablespoons) of granulated sugar to a small, shallow bowl. Using a #20 cookie scoop (3 tablespoons), scoop the cookie dough into 6 balls. Carefully roll the cookie dough balls in the granulated sugar and place them 2-3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan.
- Step 5
Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still a bit under-done. Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
