  3. Add remaining 1 3/4 cups brown sugar and salt to bowl with cooled butter; mix until no sugar lumps remain, abou 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. Give dough final stire with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Divide dough in 24 portions, each about 2 Tbs, rollding between hands into balls about 1 1/2 in diameter. Working in batches, toss balls in reserved sugar mixture to coat and set on prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 apart, 12 dough balls per sheet. (Smaller baking sheets can be used, but it will take 3 batches. .
  5. Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are browned and still puffy and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between the cracks and seem underdone), 12-14 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Do no overbake.
  6. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature.
