lukewarm.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Do not sift.

Place both sugars in a medium mixing bowl. Pour melted butter into
sugar and mix until completely blended. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla
extract. Mix until blended. Add flour mixture and mix until blended.

Place the cookies (about 6 per sheet) onto the cookie sheets. Put

turn a light golden brown

Cool cookies completely on the cookie sheets.
