- 1 1/2 cups Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very soft

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Beat butter until very light and creamy. Add sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and salt and beat until very well combined.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together and add in one step to above. Mix until dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Scoop batter into two tablespoon amounts and make round. Place about 2 inches on prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
- Place in oven and bake until very pale and edges are lightly golden, about 9 minutes.
- Move to a wire rack to cool.
- Decorate with frosting or icing as desired. Makes about 36 cookies.
