Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 2/3 cup granulated sugar. Beat until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired.
  4. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, coat with granulated sugar, and place them on baking sheets, flattening each slightly.
  5. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until edges are golden and centers remain soft.
  6. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
