These easy chipless cookies are so soft, chewy, and flavorful! With only 6 simple ingredients and 5 minutes of prep, they're the ultimate treat to make year-round.
In a large bowl, use silicone spatula to mix melted½ cup unsalted butter, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and ⅔ cup light or dark brown sugar until smooth.
Mix in 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla until smooth.
Add in all of the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon table salt. Mix until no dry spots remain.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Scoop & bake cookies:
Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Use cookie dough scoop to gather dough (2-3 tablespoons). Place on lined baking tray, spacing cookies about 3-4 inches apart.
Bake one tray at a time for about 6 minutes, or until cookies are puffed. Take tray and bang it against the counter to deflate them (this will make them chewier and give them that ripple effect!). Bake for 2 minutes, bang the tray again, then bake for another 2 minutes, or until edges are golden and middles are mostly set. Remove from oven, bang tray one last time, and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let completely cool on tray while you bake your second batch. Enjoy!!!
TIP: For rounder cookies, place a large circular cutter or mug on top of a freshly baked, warm cookie. Move it around in a circular motion until your cookie is perfectly round! This step is totally optional and purely for plating purposes! :)

Notes
Baking tip:
Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the flour in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
Storage instructions:
Room temperature: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freezing instructions: Store cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. You can also freeze cookie dough balls for up to a year and bake as usual—just add a couple more minutes to the baking time.
Reheating instructions: Allow frozen cookies to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Or, reheat in the microwave at 10-second intervals.
