Vanilla Crispies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
festive candy sprinkles (optional)

Preparation

Mix sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in a large bowl.
In another, medium-sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
Gradually add this mixture to the larger bowl, beating with a hand-held mixer.
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.
Heat the oven to 375\u00b0.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
If you want to add sprinkles, place the balls into a shallow pan, such as a pie pan, that has a layer of sprinkles on the bottom.
Gently flatten the dough into the sprinkles using the bottom of a glass.
If you are not using sprinkles, dip the bottom of the glass in granulate sugar.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Bake until barely browned (these cookies are meant to be soft) or about 8 minutes.
Immediately remove from the cookie sheet and lay on aluminum foil.
