Soft Chewy Sugar Cookies

Chewy sugar cookies with a tender crumb, retaining bite and flavor. Uses tapioca starch instead of cornstarch for chew. Brown sugar replaces some granulated, adding moisture and depth. Orange zest gives a subtle brightness. Dough chills to control spread, sugar coating adds mild crunch. Mix flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt. Beat butter with sugars then eggs and vanilla. Incorporate dry slow for texture. Chill dough, scoop, roll in sugar. Bake until edges turn faint gold. Cool on tray for structure. Substitute: coconut oil for butter keeps dairy-free, baking powder for soda if unavailable.
