Title: Sugar Cream Cookies

Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Additional granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.

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

8. Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern and flatten slightly.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Once baked, 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.
