Ingredients
- 12 Tbs. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coarse sugar, such as turbinado
Instructions
- <b>Mix the dough</b>
- Position 1 rack in the upper third and 1 rack in the middle of an oven and preheat to 350&#176;F. Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter, salt, brown sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour and beat just until evenly blended.
- <b>Shape the cookies</b>
- With lightly floured hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then flatten each ball into a circle. Place the circles about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top of each circle with the coarse sugar.
- <b>Bake the cookies</b>
- Bake until the edges of the cookies darken slightly, about 12 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the racks and let cool completely. Makes about 24 cookies.
