A sweet, nostalgic cookie with a soft, tender center.
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • ⅓ cup course sugar (may sub regular granulated sugar)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two cookies sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks one at a time and mix in vanilla extract. Stir in flour, baking soda, and cream of tarter, scraping down the sides of the bowl until dough is completely mixed. Form dough into walnut size balls and gently roll the tops in course sugar. Place on cookie sheet, sugar side up, 2 inches apart from one another; do not flatten. Bake 10 to 11 minutes, until tops begin to crack and turn slightly golden. Enjoy!
