Prep Time: 25 minutes  

Cook Time: 12-14 minutes           

Yield: about 30 cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for rolling
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

Instructions:

• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat on medium-low speed until fully combined.
• Put some sugar in a small bowl. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter, roll them into balls and coat in the sugar. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until the bottoms and edges are barely golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter.
• The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!
