These chocolate chipless cookies are just like classic chocolate chip cookies but without the chocolate chips. They are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside which is the perfect combination of cookie textures. You won't be missing the chocolate in these buttery and chewy cookies!
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium sized microwave safe bowl melt the 1/2 cup butter.
Add the 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp white sugar and mix till smooth.
Add the 2 egg yolks and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix again.
Add in the 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt and stir till dough forms.
Scoop out the dough using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, or using two tablespoons for one cookie dough ball. Place on a cookie sheet leaving 1.5 inch space between each one and bake for 12-13 minutes or until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown.
To make perfectly round cookies- immediately after baking place a cookie cutter or bowl that is larger than the cookie and move your hand in a fast circular motion to round the cookies into perfect circles.
Cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use other extract like almond or peppermint for different flavors.
