Preparation
Step 1
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
