Sprinkle granulated sugar over each cookie..
Bake them for 12 to 15 minutes. The perfect moment to take them out of the oven is when they start to get golden brown on the edges while still white in the center..
Allow them to cool on the baking pans for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack or a cold tray. They need that time to firm up as they leave the oven very softy..

I made these with lemon flavor instead of vanilla. It is a fun way to mix up the usual. In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, and granulated sugar until combined.
