Pour the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter into the bowl. Work with the whisk, add the egg and continue beating.

Cover the baking tray with parchment paper and use a teaspoon to make walnut-sized mounds, well spaced as they will flatten while baking. You will need 2 baking trays and once ready let them rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. After resting, bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes. Once ready, serve the American Cookies with tea or coffee.
