Directions

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl as needed.

• With the mixer on low speed slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat until the dough is well combined.
• Chill the dough for two hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F and lightly butter two cookie sheets.
• Use a melon baller to form small balls of dough and roll in granulated sugar to evenly coat. Place balls of dough on greased baking sheets and bake at 350 F for 10-11 minutes until the cookies are starting to set and just becoming golden at the edges.
• Let cool on the baking sheets for five minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
