Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ¼ cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 tsp salt
2 tsps vanilla
2 cups flour
¼ tsp baker's ammonia
coarse sugar or granulated sugar for coating

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets. Beat together the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla. Add the flour and baker's ammonia, and beat for up to 5 minutes, until the dough comes together; it'll seem quite dry at first, but keep beating, eventually it'll clump up and become cohesive. Break off pieces of dough about the size of a large gumball. Roll them into balls, and then roll them in coarse or granulated sugar. Put them on the prepared baking sheets, and use the bottom of a glass to flatten the balls to about 1/4" thick. Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes, until they're a very light golden brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool. Yield: 34 cookies
