Ingredients
directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2
Cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment for 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the egg and the yogurt, and continue mixing for another 2 minutes.
Step 3
Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together in a separate bowl. With the mixer set on low, slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time (just eyeball it), letting each pour of flour incorporate fully before adding the next.
Step 4
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set them 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 5
Bake the brown sugar cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they're golden brown around the edges, and then remove the cookie sheets from the oven.
Step 6
Allow the cookies to rest for a minute before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.
