Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the butter with a wooden spoon until it is light and fluffy. Add 1 cup of sugar and mix until well combined. Add remaining sugar and mix well.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and salt; mix to combine. Add flour in three additions, mixing until the flour is just incorporated after each addition. The mixture should be loose and crumbly.
- Using your hands, press the dough against the bottom and sides of the bowl to bring it together into one cohesive mass.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them about 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Using the bottom of a glass or the tines of a fork, flatten the cookies gently. If the dough sticks to the glass or fork as you work, dip it in granulated sugar between cookies.
- Bake until the cookies' edges just begin to brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- On waxed paper, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar 1 minute or until creamy, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Add egg and vanilla, beat until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended, occasionally scraping bowl. **This recipe calls for butter with no substitutions because the butter not only gives the best flavor, but also makes the dough more manageable. Margarines and spreads are too soft to produce a dough that can be rolled easily.
- Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.
- Heat oven to 400*.
- Lightly flour your rolling surface, roll out 1/3 of the dough at a time. Keep remaining dough refrigerated.
- Place cut cookies about an inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 5 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Remove immediately from cookie sheets place onto cooling racks.
