Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 3 unsalted butter softened (1 1/2 cups, sticks (units not specified
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar plus extra for rolling
- 2 egg
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and ginger in a medium mixing bowl, whisk to eliminate any lumps, and set aside.
- Add softened butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on MED-HIGH speed for 3 minutes or more to cream the butter and sugar together. The butter should be fluffy and almost white in color.
- Add eggs and vanilla bean paste (or extract) and beat on LOW for an additional 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Add in the flour mixture in thirds, beating on LOW to just combine in between additions. Continue to scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add extra granulated sugar to a small bowl. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon out dough and roll into 1 inch size balls. Drop balls, one at a time, into the sugar bowl and roll them around to coat the ball completely in sugar. Place balls on baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Using a small drinking glass, dip the bottom in the sugar bowl and then use the sugared bottom of the glass to flatten the balls to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake for approximately 9-10 minutes, until the cookie edges are just barely golden.
- Cool on cooling racks.
