3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour

Adjust two oven racks to upper and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 350°F.

Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda to bowl and stir until combined. 3 Scoop 1/4 cup sized balls of dough onto baking sheets (7 to 8 per pan). Add remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar to now empty (unwashed) bowl. Roll each dough ball into sugar, return to pan, and press to about 1 inch thick. 4 Bake until tops have puffed and cracked, and edges are golden, 9 to 11 minutes, rotating pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool.
