2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy.
Add the egg and mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined. It will be thick and shouldn't be sticky. Do not over mix.
Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Set the balls on the baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 7-8 minutes. The cookies will spread and the centers will look soft, but should look done. Remove just before the edges begin to turn golden. Don't over bake.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
