Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened (see notes)
  • 1½ cups (285g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (420g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt 
  • Additional 1/2 cup granulated sugar for finishing

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. 
  • Soften the butter in the microwave for 10-12 seconds. Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix into the butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the dough and beat on medium-low speed until well combined and dough forms.
  • Use a large cookie scoop and portion the dough. Roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar and then place each one about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350° F 10-12 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
