Instructions
- Place butter, both sugars and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat the ingredients together until the butter is light, fluffy and clings to the side of the bowl.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are mostly absorbed, then increase the speed until fully incorporated.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
- Pinch off a lump of dough. Roll it between the palms of your hands to form a ball roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter, about the size of a pingpong ball. Roll the dough in the granulated white sugar and place on the baking sheet. Repeat, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Use the flat bottom of a glass to press down and form thick disks about 2 inches wide. Sprinkle some extra sugar on each disk.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are starting to turn golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.,Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.,Did you love this recipe?
