- 2 baking trays
Ingredients
- 225 g butter room temperature
- 300 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 large egg
- 335 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions

- Place the butter and sugar in the mixer bowl and beat at high speed until the mixture is light and very fluffy. Add the vanilla essence and beat for a while.
- Add the egg and beat until combined with the mixture.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl and mix at low speed until all ingredients are combined.
- Add sugar for rolling into a bowl. Form dough balls the size of about 2 tablespoons (the easiest way to do this is with an ice cream scoop) and roll in sugar.Układaj na blasze w dużych odstępach, nie więcej, niż po 6 - 8 na jedną blachę.Make the balls as you go as they bake. If you prepare them too early, the mixture will soften too much.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and the edges have set, but are still pale golden in color. Uwaga - piekarniki różnią się od siebie, więc u Ciebie ciasteczka mogą być gotowe już po 10-12 minutach!
- Leave the cookies on the baking tray for 10 minutes until they deflate and get firm
