Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (70 g) granulated white sugar (+2 tablespoons extra for dipping)
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (114 grams) unsalted softened butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract is optional
Directions
- 1. Using a stand mixer (or a handheld one) cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla. You should have a very smooth but grainy batter.
- 2. Add in the flour and mix well until you have a tacky dough. The dough should feel something like playdough.
- 3. Take a small icecream scoop and scoop out 11/12 cookies. You can also use a measuring spoon as well.
- 4. Roll each one into a ball and dip in sugar. Repeat this step for every single cookie.
- 5. Once the cookies are rolled and dipped into sugar, place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave space between each one as they will spread out.
- 6. With the bottom of a glass, press each one until they are flat ensuring each cookie is the same thickness and size. About ⅛-¼ inch thickness.
- 7. Bake in a preheated 325 F oven (162C) for 15 minutes. The cookies should be a touch underbaked in the middle which will ensure that chewy texture.
- 8. Let them cool completely WITHOUT touching them for at least 15 minutes. Store into an airtight glass tupperware as they will last you a week at room temperature.
