Ingredients
- Butter1 cup
- Sugar1 ½ cups
- Egg2
- Vanilla1 tbsp
- Flour4 cups
- Baking powder1 ½ tsp
- Baking soda½ tsp
- Salt¾ tsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients about a cup at a time, mixing until thoroughly combined. Scrape the bowl well. The dough will be a bit sticky.
- Scoop 3-tablespoon (60 g) portions of dough and roll each into a smooth ball. Roll each ball in coarse sugar to coat, then place on the prepared sheet, spaced at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
- Bake on the center rack at 350°F (175°C) for 11 to 13 minutes. The cookies should be quite pale with no significant golden browning on the edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
