Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line with parchment paper or grease 2 baking sheets.
  2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a medium size mixing bowl. Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until combined, then add vanilla extract. Slowly add flour mixture until combined; be sure not to overmix.
  3. Roll balls with approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place onto baking sheets. Dip a flat-bottomed glass into the ¼ cup of sugar (in a small bowl) and firmly press down on each dough ball, until the sides come out from under the glass.
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the tops of the cookies crack. Let cool for a few minutes then move to a rack to cool before frosting.
