Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars.
Add in all remaining wet ingredients and beat together until well combined.
Add in the dry ingredients and beat again until a batter forms. Be sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop from the bag or you'll end up with more than you need!
Use a medium cookie scoop and measure into heaping balls. Roll in your hands to form an even ball, then roll in extra granulated sugar.
Repeat until all dough has been used and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the tops with your fingertips, they won't spread a ton while baking!
Bake for 11-15 minutes.
The cookies will be soft when the come out of the oven. 12 minutes is ideal in my oven for nice chewy cookies, but you can bake for longer if you prefer a bit of crunch, but you risk drying them out if they stay in for too long.
Immediately when they come out of the oven, I like to slam down the cookie sheet on the stove to encourage spreading/crackling of the tops.
Then, I take a large round cookie cutter and swirl it around each cookie to shape it into a perfect circle. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
