Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup sugar, plus more (about 1/3 cup) for rolling
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs and then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on medium-low speed until completely incorporated. Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough, roll with your hands into balls and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
