Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300F. Beat together the sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla. Add the flour and baking soda and beat for up to 5 min, until dough comes together, it'll seem quite dry at first, but keep beating, eventually it will clump up and become cohesive. Break off pieces of dough about the size of a large gumball. Roll them into balls and roll in coarse sugar. Put them on baking sheets and use the bottom of a glass to flatten them. Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes until they are very light golden brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven, and transfer to rack to cool.
