Cookie With Vanilla Sugar

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to beat until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms.

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Shape the chilled cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, then roll each ball in granulated sugar until coated.

7. Place the sugar-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Gently press down on each cookie dough ball with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once the cookies are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy these delightful Cookie With Vanilla Sugar with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect sweet treat!
