1 1/2TeaspoonsCorn Starch
1/2TeaspoonSalt

3/4CupButtermelted
1 1/2CupsBrown Sugar

Instructions
Add flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt to a large mixing bowl then use a spoon to mix until well combined. Set the bowl of mixed dry ingredients aside.
Next melt the butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl then allow the melted butter it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Add brown sugar to the melted butter then whisk the two ingredients together. Next, add the eggs and vanilla to the butter and brown sugar then continue to whisk until the wet mixture is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients then use a wooden spoon to stir all of the ingredients together until dough is formed. Place the prepared brown sugar cookie dough into a large ziplock bag then refrigerate the dough for two hours.
Preheat oven to 325* degrees then prepare the baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Pour 1/2 cup of white sugar into a shallow dish then set it aside. Roll the prepared cookie dough into one-inch sized balls then roll each dough ball in sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets. Use the bottom of a glass or spatula to gently press the top of the dough balls down until the cookies are slightly flattened on top.
Bake cookies for 12 minutes at 325* degrees. Allow the cookies to rest for 2-3 minutes on the warm baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
After the cookies are completely cool store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
