Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped, pod reserved for another use
- 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling
- Water, for brushing
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat sugars and vanilla seeds with a mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add butter; beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; beat until well combined.
Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop (3 tablespoons), drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing2 inches apart (no more than 4 cookies per sheet).
Flatten cookies slightly using the palm of your hand; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Lightly brush tops of cookies with water using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sanding sugar again.
Bake until light golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks, and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.

I loved this recipe. I substituted half a stick of butter with olive oil and cooked them for about 6-8 minutes a batch- they turned out chewy and also added lemon rind...

A friend served these to my family during a vacation at her home. She serves them fresh and frozen. My family makes yum yum sounds while they are eating them. I cannot make just one batch. They would all be gone before they had a chance to cool. A little bit of heaven!!!

This is the ultimate sugar cookie. With the vanilla bean you don't even need frosting! My son's best friend asks for these whenever he comes over. Fabulous!
